Dashboard Loads Empty Until Raw Configuration Editor Entered

Configuration

Hi All,

I’m facing a problem that is basically making HA unusable for me. So far, no one has been able to answer on discord so coming here.

Problem: My dashboard won’t load at all unless I go into “raw configuration editor” and then exit (no changes necessary, no saving). Once I do this, my dash loads fine, until I leave it and go back, at which point it fails again.

What I’ve Tried: I’ve gutted my dashboard down to almost nothing trying to diagnose and yet it persists. The entire configuration is being made in raw configuration editor. I’ve removed everything other than a single slider and yet, it continues.

My Code Now:

views:
  - theme: noctis
    icon: ''
    path: default_view
    title: HOME
    visible:
      - user: 12345678901234567000
    type: sidebar
    badges: []
    cards:
      - type: custom:slider-button-card
        entity: light.white_living_room
        slider:
          direction: left-right
          background: gradient
          use_state_color: true
          use_percentage_bg_opacity: true
          show_track: false
          toggle_on_click: false
          force_square: false
        show_name: true
        show_state: false
        compact: true
        icon:
          show: true
          use_state_color: false
          icon: mdi:fridge
          tap_action:
            action: navigate
            navigation_path: /lovelace/cuisine
          action_button:
            mode: custom
            icon: mdi:chevron-right
            show_spinner: false
            tap_action:
              action: navigate
              navigation_path: /lovelace/cuisine

I’m seeing something similar, though not exactly the same.

When I load one of my dashboards, it comes up blank until I tap edit and then tap Done (no changes). This dashboard continues to load and display properly for a while after this.

It’s only one particular dashboard, none of the others exhibit this behavior.

Did you find a cause for this, or a solution?

Fwiw, my dashboard used a combination of vertical and horizontal stacks, nothing too complicated, which was working for a long time.

I re-implemented the dashboard using the new sections layout, and it’s working without problems now.

I ended up starting from scratch and the problem is resolved although I don’t remember what was triggering the issue (sorry). I believe it was the declutter card (which I’m still using). I’ll try to figure it out and let you know.

Yeah, that’s effectively what I did, just create a new one and abandon the old one.

I even duplicated the old one, and I saw the same behavior in both copies.

Very strange, but at this point all of my dashboards now work properly.
