sshToRPI Error

[rhanson]

Karl,

I've been using piBeacon for years without issue. Went today to set up a new Pi, and I'm getting this error in the log every few seconds:

Code: Select all

   piBeacon                        sshToRPI in Line '13443' has error=''Popen' object does not support indexing'

Debug lines:

   piBeacon                         sbin/ping  -c 1 -W 40 -o 192.168.6.100 return-code: 0

Data points:
- configured pi correctly (including timezone, etc)
- able to ssh from the Indigo machine terminal (and other machines) to the pi without issue
- password is correct in the config
- new Pi's MAC address correctly appears in the dropdown list of Pis
- Indigo device for the new pi has not been created
- didn't feel like looking at line 13443, figured you would know best
- pi scripts are running on the pi (master, receiveGPIOcommands, beaconloop, copyToTemp)
- installLibs.py is not running
- stopped/restarted plugin
- stopped/restarted whole indigo server
- plugin version 7.94.250
- Indigo 7.2.0

Any ideas?

How do I delete a pi (whose device doesn't yet exist) and start over?

[kw123]

the line # 13443 is:>> if len(ret[1]) > 0: <<
but ret = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
missing .communicate().. hence the Popen error

This happens only for certain commands (ie reboot ) only when done manually or program update to RPi

fixed in 7.95.251

don't know why ".communicate()." disappeared

Karl

assman: some prompts are Password some password .. hence assword .. long enough and works..
had a plugin "mother" (.. does not work any more vendor website is gone) and you could add some f words behind that one

>> How do I delete a pi (whose device doesn't yet exist) and start over?:
in initial setup delete userid and or password and set to off & save that should do it

or just edit that PI# in initial setup, set the new configs and save

Thanks for the patch. Success!
