Unable to reach HA, voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid

Configuration
1

Hi all, I just got home and noticed that my automations were not running. So I looked at the HA docker logs in Portainer and saw the messages shown below. This seems to prevent HA from launching. Has anyone a clue as to what I should do with this? Thank you in advance!

I’m experiencing this same issue after an upgrade from 2024.1 to 2024.1.4, but for me this error is keeping HomeAssistant from starting up.

I tried clearing the database and also rolling back the docker image to the 2024.1 tag, but I’m still seeing the error.

This is frustrating. Rebuilding my entire HomeAssistant config seems like the only option at this point.

Thanks for the reply. I didn’t mention it, but for me it also prevents HA from launching (added it to the post). Is it perhaps possible to revert the update? So run on a previous version of HA?

First look if you have empty package yaml files and remove these. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

That did it for me, thanks! The error message has a clue as to what file is empty - in the case of OP that would be packages/waste.yaml.

Thanks Marco, looking in my directory now. Looking in my config directory is see “configuration.yaml.save”. I don’t think I saw that before. Could this be related? And is it safe to delete?

This did the trick Marco, Thanks!

This fix worked for me too!

I didn’t think any of the .yaml files in my packages folder were empty, but I took a deep dive and came across one where all the code was commented out, which makes sense that HomeAssistant would identify that as an empty file.

Thank you so much!!!
