How am I supposed to find this?

Configuration
1

After updating I get the following when I check the config:

Check and restart
A basic validation of the configuration is automatically done before restarting. The basic validation ensures the YAML configuration doesn’t have errors which will prevent Home Assistant or any integration from starting. It’s also possible to only do the basic validation check without restarting.

Configuration invalid!
Configuration errors
Unexpected error calling config validator: ‘condition’

I am showing NO errors in any automations or any other file…
So where and how am I supposed to find this?

Thank you!
Happy Father’s Day to all!

From that same page reload the individual parts and see which one breaks, or check the logfiles, or look at anything you’ve recently changed.

It appears to be either an automation, script or template triggered sensor. Start by commenting out the above entries until you narrow it down. You can also run the checker from the cli. ha core check It may give you more information.

Also check the logs for a failed automation/script/template trigger entry.

Thank you for all the help!!! I found a few Automations that showed no errors but instead of conditions they said condition and gave no errors, but that seems to have fixed it!!

Hello John Wade,

For future you to know, check the last thing you edited and if that’s OK, check everything you edited since the last time you rebooted…

Just to add to this: I had changed so much automations in one session throughout 12k lines of code, that I had to resort to a more radical approach - cutting all code in automations.yaml in half, checking the config, and repeatedly halving sections until I found the automation or lines causing the issue and the config check finally passed without errors.
