Have you tried cleaning the build files?

Have you tried cleaning the build files?

Yes it appears to give the same error

same here with ESPHome 2024.12.x had to downgrade ESPHome to 2024.11.3
ESP throws the "ambiguous HEAD" error even in the config editor of the device.

Looks like the config syntax has to be changed, please check and update the config example here, thanks!

[edwardtfn]

The tag v4.3.12 is there and all looks good, so I don't understand this issue.
I've just created a branch with this same name, pointing to the same place. Could you please try again?

[dieselee]

Same error for me ESP Home has had update since the last time i tried to complile as well to 2024.12.1

[edwardtfn]

Could you please try forcing an earlier version of this project?
I'm your panel's yaml, change from ref: main to ref: v4.3.11.

[dieselee]

Same error when trying clean build for me with ref: v4.3.11

[edwardtfn]

May I ask for another test?
What if you create a new ESP32 device in your ESPHome Dashboard, then copy your panel's yaml entirely to this new device, replacing its yaml, just keeping a different name to avoid conflicts...
Do you have the same error when compiling that new one?

[dieselee]

Ok my apologies, it does compile successfully with ref: v4.3.11

I did try using ref: v4.3.12 and it still has error on that one.

Ok, good to know you can use the system with v4.3.11. But I still have no idea why v4.3.12 is failing. 😬
Anyways, the difference is just an unlikely bug fix related to timezone and we probably can come with a work around for that if you face it. ;)
Let's see if v4.4.0 works better when released.

[dieselee]

Thank you for your support, I will install to the ns-panel 👍

[oolivero45]

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same issue - trying to use 4.3.11 isn't helping in my case either. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

The error I'm getting is exactly the same.

Let me know if there are any logs which would be helpful to attach.

[edwardtfn]

Could you please share your yaml and the logs for when you are trying v4.3.11?
Please remove any sensitive info before sharing. 😉

If I swap the ref out for any other version it throws the same error. I'm starting to suspect it's somethign weird going on with ESPHome, rather than with the NSPanel project specifically, at this point, as it seems like it just really does not want to do the git operation properly.

I've tried clearing the build files, with no luck, and I've tried swapping the device running HA out for an 8GB pi rather than the original 4GB one just in case it was running out of memory during compilation.

[oolivero45]

To further add to this: I'm able to successfully compile it if I do it from the ESPHome CLI running on my main PC, so it appears to be isolated to either the ESPHome HA addon, or my specific installation of it, rather than a general issue?

[oolivero45]

I've just fully uninstalled ESPHome and reinstalled it, and after some messing around to get it to start installing from scratch again, it seems to be behaving now - but only with 4.3.11. 4.3.12 was still refusing, although I think this was because something was still lingering from the previous install as it was happening far too fast for it to actually be trying to pull the git repo.

Unfortunately I don't know what about the fresh install fixed it - I'm happy to help in any way I can if you still want to try to pin down exactly what was causing it though.

[MichalUngr23]

Právě jsem plně odinstaloval ESPHome a znovu ji nainstaloval a po nějakém motání se, abych ji znovu začal instalovat od nuly, zdá se, že se nyní chová - ale pouze s 4.3.11. 4.3.12 stále odmítal, i když si myslím, že to bylo proto, že něco stále přetrvávalo z předchozí instalace, protože se to dělo příliš rychle na to, aby se ve skutečnosti snažilo stáhnout git repo.

Bohužel nevím, co opravila čerstvá - rád by vám vyhovoval způsob instalace, pokud se přesto chcete pokusit přesně určit, co to může být.

Jak jsi to prosím vyresil ja odinstaloval doplnek ESPhome a vysledek stejny : INFO ESPHome 2025.1.0-dev
