Hello,
to replicate the following behavior I boiled the setup down to minimal example consisting out of edge ↔ backend ↔ ui as described in getting started guide.
Now, I install another component (e.g. this meter), which was NOT registered inside EdgeApp.bndrun when the edge was compiled. The installation is done via Apache Felix Web Console->Bundles->Install and configuration in the same web console. The meter is working but inside the edge the EdgeConfig->AcutalEdgeConfig->Builder->addComponent is NOT called. (Same applies if installed via Apache Felix File Install with an existing config in the config folder).
That’s why - afaik - the component is not forwarded to the backend via the web socket and not visible in the UI connected to the backend (and also not in an UI additionally connected to the edge)
As a workaround you can deinstall any other component which causes all components to be inserted to the EdgeConfig again (including the meter). But this does not work if the edge restarts and loads its modules via FileInstall from a folder.
Why this is a problem: We want to automatically install / update components as JAR into the edge via Felix File Install.
Does anybody have hints how to fix this or work around this in another way?
Hint: Might be related to Warn message "Component was missing!"
