Without your yaml, no clue.

You’re right, but my yaml is just a wrap around the one from github, so not very interesting

I’m having exactly the same problem. At least this month it failed to build. Last month the .00 version caused my S3 Box to boot loop. At least this month I just have to wait for a fix, instead of manually installing an old version of ESPHome to downgrade the firmware on my S3 Box. I hope there’s a fix soon.

The fix is to not request glyphs that aren’t in the font. Just remove the lines like:

    glyphs: ${allowed_characters}

Or change the allowed characters to ones that are in the font.

[edited]

There are some issues around this, need to consider a better fix for the longer term. I’ll raise an issue for it.

Actually it turns out that the Figtree font only contains Latin characters anyway, so it’s pointless asking for any of the other languages.

So just removing the glyphs: key is the solution.

Hi there,

I use exactly the same yaml and it was working for several months until ESPHome 2024.11.0 update.

So is the yaml the real problem or the update that broke something that was working before?

The yaml was requesting glyphs that were not in the font, so even though it appeared to be enabling all those characters, a substantial number would not have displayed if included in text. The recent update now regards this as a a build time error, since an inspection of the yaml would suggest you could use all those listed non-Latin characters, yet if they were used they would not have displayed. That’s misleading.

So the yaml was wrong, the error was previously ignored, now it’s not. So yes, that’s a breaking change.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this. I do not have the code in my yaml, but instead points to the github package.

substitutions:
  name: esphome-web-deviceX
  friendly_name: NabuX
packages:
  esphome.voice-assistant: github://esphome/firmware/voice-assistant/esp32-s3-box-3.yaml@main
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
api:
  encryption:
    key: blah-blah-blah

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

Do I need to take this code from the Github package and paste it into the Yaml instead and correct it there?

Edit: Ok, so I did just that, paste the code from the github package into my yaml, make the required mods (removed the three “gryphs” statements) - but now I get this error:

githug-error
githug-error1126×600 19.5 KB

The device is not currently online, and I am doing an Offline-complie, aka Download the .BIN firmware - so I do not expect the device to be online for this, correct?

Any help are highly apprecaited.
Thanks.

I’m seeing the same behavior referencing the package on github.

So, the code at github://esphome/wake-word-voice-assistants/esp32-s3-box-3/esp32-s3-box-3.yaml@main was corrected, but esphome must use a cached version because still the same error
How to delete this cached version? How to force to download a new version?

I’ve tried also this in my yaml file to try to force to download the new version:

packages:
  esphome.voice-assistant:
    url: https://github.com/esphome/wake-word-voice-assistants
    files: esp32-s3-box-3/esp32-s3-box-3.yaml
    ref: main
    refresh: 1s

I think it does that, but than it fails further on (a different error than above):

I see a very similar error after making the same change

13

I added an audio: statement to my code and the compile is working.

Thank you!

14

Today, an update of ESPHome 2024.11.1 and probably a refresh of the cache for the github package.
Everything compiles now without any error and without any change of my wrapping yaml code.

15

It is a great shame that this change breaks even the esphome’s own yaml configs. How about coordinating things a bit better guys?

16

Oh, wait. You mean this is NOT “made in …” ?
LOL

17

Well, clearly nobody using that yaml config tested out the beta version.

gift-horse

Reverted back to 2024.10.0 from backups, solved my issues with the x-missing glyphs:

You have 2024.10.0 installed. Click update to update to version 2024.11.2

19

Today, an update of ESPHome 2024.11.1 and probably a refresh of the cache for the github package.
What does "refresh of the cache for GitHub package mean … is this the solution?

20

In my yaml file, a github yaml is used. See one of my first messages.

packages:
  esphome.voice-assistant: github://esphome/wake-word-voice-assistants/esp32-s3-box-3/esp32-s3-box-3.yaml@main

This github yaml was corrected by the author to avoid the error, but this github yaml is also cached on your system.
So the correction was at first instance, not seen by my installation because of the cached version. This cached version was taken instead of the new one.
