Newbie question - help finding a file

groston · December 29, 2024, 5:28am

I am having an issue with my Home Assistant system and someone suggested checking the Supervisor Logs. Okay, I did that, and one entry (among bunch) that I found was this:

File “/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py”, line 366, in _async_setup_platform await asyncio.shield(awaitable)

Problem: Using putty, I remote logged into the system, but the folder /usr/src is empty. Equally strange: I cd’ed to /, then ‘find . -name “*.py” –print’ and entity_platform.py was not found.

Would someone kindly point me in the proper direction so I can find this file.

Hi, I suggest sending a message to a mod requesting to move your topic to an appropriate category.

That being said, I don’t think it is a good idea to look for that file, since we as normal users never need to change anything there. Maybe include a bigger portion of the logs, then someone can perhaps spot the cause. Error traces most often contain much more pointers.

It can also help if you describe in more detail what the problem is. Maybe related to a specific integration.
