# Template No Match Tracking and Reporting
|
|
|
|
## Issue Description
|
|
|
|
When the `check_and_update_template` method couldn't find a match for either the Device Name or Template in the `mqtt.config_other` configuration, it would silently continue without providing any information about what was set on the device. This made it difficult for users to understand why a template wasn't applied and what the current device configuration was.
|
|
|
|
## Changes Made
|
|
|
|
The `check_and_update_template` method has been enhanced to track and report detailed information when no match is found. Specifically:
|
|
|
|
1. Changed the log level from DEBUG to INFO for better visibility in logs
|
|
2. Added more detailed log messages that include:
|
|
- A clear message that no matches were found
|
|
- The current Device Name on the device
|
|
- The current Template on the device
|
|
3. Added user-friendly console output using `print()` statements that:
|
|
- Clearly indicates no template match was found
|
|
- Shows the device name and IP address
|
|
- Displays the current Device Name on the device
|
|
- Displays the current Template on the device
|
|
- Provides a suggestion to add an appropriate entry to the configuration file
|
|
|
|
## Code Changes
|
|
|
|
The following changes were made to the `check_and_update_template` method:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# Before
|
|
else:
|
|
self.logger.debug(f"{name}: No matches found in config_other for device name or template")
|
|
|
|
# After
|
|
else:
|
|
# No matches found, print detailed information about what's on the device
|
|
self.logger.info(f"{name}: No matches found in config_other for either Device Name or Template")
|
|
self.logger.info(f"{name}: Current Device Name on device: '{device_name}'")
|
|
self.logger.info(f"{name}: Current Template on device: '{current_template}'")
|
|
print(f"\nNo template match found for device {name} at {ip}")
|
|
print(f" Device Name on device: '{device_name}'")
|
|
print(f" Template on device: '{current_template}'")
|
|
print("Please add an appropriate entry to mqtt.config_other in your configuration file.")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
A test script `test_template_no_match.py` was created to verify the changes. The script:
|
|
|
|
1. Gets a test device from current.json
|
|
2. Temporarily modifies the mqtt.config_other section to ensure no match will be found
|
|
3. Calls the check_and_update_template method
|
|
4. Verifies that appropriate messages are printed
|
|
|
|
The test confirmed that the method now correctly tracks and reports detailed information when no match is found.
|
|
|
|
## Benefits
|
|
|
|
These changes provide several benefits:
|
|
|
|
1. **Better Visibility**: Users can now see when a template match is not found, rather than the process silently continuing.
|
|
2. **Detailed Information**: The current Device Name and Template on the device are clearly displayed, making it easier to understand the current configuration.
|
|
3. **Actionable Guidance**: The message suggests adding an appropriate entry to the configuration file, guiding users on how to resolve the issue.
|
|
|
|
This enhancement improves the user experience by providing clear, actionable information when a template match is not found, helping users understand and resolve configuration issues more easily. |
