Dashboard Refresh issues

Third party integrations HADashboard
1

When I first started, I would make changes and not see them. But if I added a new file name then it would refresh for awhile. So I add “dash_force_compile: 1” to the config yaml and that fixed it. I did try the url option but it did not seem to work. I was going to mention it but forgot, till now, and it’s back.
Actually, little different, now if the url x.x.x.x:5050 I get a “500 internal server error”. If the url x.x.x.x:5050/MainPanel I see it but changes are not reflected. I have a climate widget and it works.
One other note, In between the last time I messed with dashboard and now, I tried to get my garage door opener to work. I had to do the open zwave (ozw) patch for barriers. Long thread, all mine are at the bottom of it, here is where the meat starts … https://community.home-assistant.io/t/linear-ngdz00-4-garage-door/2136/220?u=penright

seems like that the filerights from your dashboard directory are not correct.

and not seeing changes you made in a dashboards are mostly the result from cashing from your browser.
after making changes, clear your cash

That was my thought, I did a chown homeassistant:homeassistant . *
so I thought I would go back and check

pi@hassbian:/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/AppDaemon $ ls -l
total 792
-rw-r--r-- 1 homeassistant homeassistant  12951 Jul 14 22:04 AppDaemon.Log
-rw-r--r-- 1 homeassistant homeassistant 781413 Jul 19 14:36 AppDaemons.Log
d-wx--x--x 8 homeassistant homeassistant   4096 Jul 17 22:54 conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 homeassistant homeassistant   4096 Jul 14 21:52 images
pi@hassbian:/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/AppDaemon $ ls -l conf
ls: cannot open directory conf: Permission denied

Why is conf owner:group homeassistant, but when I take a directory I get permission denied. But I can ls images.

The permissions on conf are wrong.

chmod 755 conf/

should fix it up

5

There are a few more, but that process did fix it. Updating the ozw must set the directories.
BTW, running chrome holding the ctrl when clicking the reload will flush the cache.
