Errors That Need Immediate Attention

These errors are critical and should be addressed ASAP to prevent issues. They might even block future updates to the stable repository, so let's get them sorted!

1. Outdated @iobroker/adapter-core Dependency

The adapter is using @iobroker/adapter-core version 3.1.6, but the minimum required version is 3.2.3, and the current version is 3.3.2 or newer. This is a biggie! @iobroker/adapter-core provides essential functionalities and ensuring it's up-to-date is crucial for compatibility and security. To fix this, you need to update the dependencies in the package.json file. Open package.json and change the version number for @iobroker/adapter-core to at least 3.3.2. After updating, run npm install to install the new version. This ensures that your adapter is using the latest features and security patches provided by @iobroker/adapter-core. Keeping this dependency up-to-date is a fundamental aspect of maintaining the overall health and stability of your adapter. By using the latest version, you can take advantage of performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features that enhance the functionality and user experience of your adapter. Regular updates to @iobroker/adapter-core also ensure that your adapter remains compatible with the evolving ioBroker ecosystem and adheres to best practices for adapter development. Failing to update this dependency can lead to compatibility issues, security vulnerabilities, and potential malfunctions in your adapter's functionality. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize updating @iobroker/adapter-core to the latest recommended version to ensure the long-term reliability and performance of your adapter.

2. Outdated Admin Dependency

The io-package.json file lists admin version 6.13.16 as a global dependency, but the minimum required is 6.17.14, and 7.6.17 is recommended. The admin adapter is the backbone of the ioBroker user interface, so an outdated version can lead to compatibility issues and a subpar user experience. You'll need to update the globalDependency in your io-package.json file. Find the admin entry and update the version to at least 7.6.17. Save the file and then run iobroker upload vofo-speedtest to apply the changes to your ioBroker instance. Regularly updating the admin dependency ensures that your adapter remains compatible with the latest features and improvements in the ioBroker admin interface. This includes access to new UI elements, enhanced configuration options, and security patches that protect your adapter and users from potential vulnerabilities. By keeping the admin dependency up-to-date, you can provide a seamless and intuitive user experience for configuring and managing your adapter within the ioBroker environment. Additionally, updating to the recommended version can resolve compatibility issues that may arise from using outdated versions of the admin adapter. This ensures that your adapter functions correctly and integrates smoothly with the overall ioBroker system. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize updating the admin dependency to the latest recommended version to maintain the functionality, security, and user experience of your adapter.
