Can't restart from UI

I am running Hassio with Home Assistant 0.94.4. If I make changes to configuration.yaml and navigate to Configuration > General > Server Magement > Restart, it no longer seems to restart. I don’t lose communication with my Pi, and - more importantly - config changes aren’t reflected in the web UI. I have tried a hard reload and opening in private browsing mode and the changes still aren’t reflected. Unplugging and plugging my Pi causes the changes to occur.

There might be a problem with the configuration changes you have made.

Did you do a config check before attempting to restart?

Did you check the log for errors?

I think maybe I understand. There was a breaking change at some point that invalidated my configuration. Home assistant still loads and everything, it just gets skipped over. But, presumably, the restart button does a config check and won’t restart if the configuration is bad?

That seems to have been it. The speed test sensor became a component at some point, which invalidated my configuration. I fixed it and now I can restart from within the browser. Thanks!

Yes this is what was happening.
