Scripts Won't Load

Configuration
1

Hi,

I am having a weird issue where no scripts will load from script.yaml or script folder, was working fine yesterday. The only change was upgrading to .68. He is one script (the only one I have in the script.yaml file) which I copied from syntax example:

test_script:
  sequence:
    # This is written using the Script Syntax
    - service: light.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: group.lights_dimmer

And in my config yaml:

script: !include script.yaml

If I create in UI (when there is a scripts.yaml file) it works fine.

I have treid everything I can think of at this point, including recreating python venv.

Thanks,
Cody

So this just popped up in the log;

2018-04-29 11:08:48 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.group] remove:Group ‘all_scripts’ doesn’t exist!

What does that mean? I was able to get scripts to show from script.yaml, but when I move to folder and use

script: !include_dir_merge_list script

That error occurs

Scripts aren’t specified in lists, they are named. Thus you need !include_dir_merge_named

4

I have always been confused about the correct include to use, is it documented somewhere?

5

Yup that was it, thank you (yet again) for your help

Yeah, basically exactly where you linked to. The problem tends to be that people don’t notice the difference between a listed multiple entry and a named multiple entry, so they don’t understand what the options mean and therefore which one they need.

7

Yeah I didn’t even notice that difference. Note to self: read all the way down lol

So would listed mean multiple entries in one file?

The most misleading part for me is “will return the content of a directory” as apose to the “content of a list”

No, a list looks like this:

component:
  - name: listed_1
    option: something

  - name: listed_2
    option: something

And names look like this

component:
  name_1:
    option: something 

  name_2:
    option: something

The former bit is correct, it returns the contents of the directory, you just need to return it as a list (for components that need lists) or names (for components that need names).
