Installing this driver destroys a already installed one

1.: Thank you for this very helpful driver!

Describe the bug Installing this driver destroys a already installed one.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. working dbus-mqtt-devices driver
2. installing this driver
3. reboot
4. dbus-mqtt-devices driver doesn’t work anymore

Expected behavior Installing this driver should not influence other drivers.

Solution Reinstalling dbus-mqtt-devices helped

What could I find Your installation script replaced a already existing entry in /data/rc.local Reentering it did not help. I had to reinstall dbus-mqtt-devices

[ngardiner]

@ngardiner the setup script of dbus-mqtt-devices appends his line to /data/rc.local

For me everything is working new. But just to be aware that this can happen.

That’s going to work if nobody puts an exit 0 at the end of their script or runs any command which doesn’t either fork or finish immediately, but we are at the point where people have to guess what other scripts are going to do.

It’s still a very fragile system whichever way it is cut. The best approach would probably be for someone to build a standard rc.local mux system that allows custom modules to coexist and everyone to plug into that.

Hm, sadly the installation deleted my rc.local without any backup. so i lost many settings…
