I want to put this here because I suspect this shouldn’t have happened, but I was working with the auth_providers section of the configuration, specifically I was trying to ADD trusted networks and trusted users.
I was checking configuration.yaml to see that everything was fine and it broke twice without failing configuration check:
- First time it failed when I added a trusted_user via their name and not user_id. The configuration check passed, but when I restarted HA, it wouldn’t fully load past a certain time. I think this should have been caught by the check. Luckily I was still able to access the file editor add-on and fix that issue. (Summary: check configuration didn’t find a problem, but reboot did)
- The second time broke totally, as I couldn’t access the GUI. This happened when I added the line allow_bypass_login: true. The GUI broke when I tried to check configuration, which I thought would be safe. I didn’t reload nor restart.
I’m not keen on trying to break it again to confirm these issues, but if anyone is interested, they may want to duplicate this problem so it doesn’t happen to someone else.
