TTS / Text Input Field Disappeared

[sonyboypatrick]

The problem

Hello everybody,

after updating to 2023.11 all text input fields are gone from the ui. Normally I use the mini.media-player card and the tts feature to send messages to amazon echo devices. This bug occurs not only on the mini-media-player card, its the same for text-input-row or the notify card (see this bernikr/lovelace-notify-card#19). It seems to be a general problem with the new release.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2023.11.0

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

core-2023.10.5

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Container

these are all custom frontend components.
if simple things like clearing the browser cache does not fix it, you should report this issue to the maintainers/projects of these custom components.

Same here, all text input fields are gone from the ui.

For any custom card devs stumbling upon this thread:

The breaking change is that paper-input was removed and most likely (for a normal textfield) has to be replaced by ha-textfield

I'm experiencing the same issue. Hopefully, this will soon be fixed. It would also be great if somebody provides a fix or workaround. For now, I am going back to core 2023.10.5.

I imagine it's unlikely this will be fixed. Paper elements were deprecated in February 2022 (https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2022/02/18/paper-elements/). I'm not sure why they didn't actually break until 2023.11 - I guess the actual removal only just happened - but these have been unsupported for almost 2 years at this point. The fix is to reach out to the custom component author and have them switch to a ha-textfield. I just did a fix in postlund/search-card#45, it's pretty straightforward.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for your input, kalkih/mini-media-player#786 fixes my problem. I will close this.
