cannot read property 'homepage' of undefined

I am trying to start the Node server from my Macbook but getting this error:

$ npm start -- --name "myOpenHAB-Bridge" --server 10.0.1.15:8080

Since you're not specifying a sitemap, have you set up a site map named "homekit.sitemap"?

[Emptyless]

yes in the same directory as the default.sitemap. I did try to add it by appending "--sitemap" "homekit" but that yielded the same results

[FluBBaOfWard]

Can you open http://10.0.1.15:8080/rest/sitemaps/homekit in a web browser?

[Emptyless]

Yes i can, I was also experimenting with Homebridge and there the sitemap works. No items are in groups or frames. Everything is added like the description on this repo's README.md

[FluBBaOfWard]

I'm not sure I remember right, but I don't think I could use # for comments in the sitemap if you have copied from the example.

[Emptyless]

I will test if it starts without the #'s, will post results

[htreu]

Did the comments have any effect? Please post your sitemap if the problem still exists.

[niwakame]

Your problem is most likely having set up a username and password. Try to use "user:[email protected]:8080". Otherwise, sitemap download will fail, because of basic auth.

I've set a default.sitemap as below:

sitemap homekit label="NekkoYi HomeKit" {
  Switch item=bal label="陽台"
  Switch item=bath label="浴室"
  Switch item=bed label="主臥"
  Switch item=dine label="餐桌"
  Switch item=ent label="玄關"
  Switch item=guest label="和室"
  Switch item=kit label="廚房"
  Switch item=storage label="儲藏室"
  Switch item=study label="書房"
  Switch item=liv label="客廳"
}

Also I tried the method @niwakame suggested, didn't male any difference.

And I cannot open/rest/sitemaps/default , it gave me this:

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /rest/sitemaps/homekit. Reason:

    javax.servlet.ServletException: Throwable
...
...
...

but just http://192.168.1.101:8080/ works fine and redirects to http://192.168.1.101:8080/openhab.app

I have another bridge running just fine with the same config, not sure why this happened.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[yi959]

It turned out to be caused by java. After manually killed the java and openhab process then restart openhab, the REST API became reachable, and the bridge worked fine! Took me an hour to figure out though... silly me 😂
