ZwaveJS version

14.3.7

Describe the bug

After update from 9.27.7 worked for some hours and stopped responding. UI is not responding, MQTT seems publishing but not responding to updates. Restart won't fix and issue. Reverting back to 9.27.7 works fine.

In the log just see the line:
2024-12-05T15:40:29.423Z DRIVER Dropping message because the driver is not ready to handle it yet.

Line repeats from time to time.

Logs attached. Note: that log includes both failure and working normally after reverting back.
Let me know if more information required.

To Reproduce

Update to a new version.

Expected behavior

Operate normally

zwavejs_current.zip
z-ui_current.zip

Additional context

Not sure about this error:
2024-12-05T15:40:36.525Z CONFIG Writing the device index to disk failed: ENOENT: no such file or directory, op en '/snapshot/build/node_modules/@zwave-js/config/config/devices/index.json'

You should set the env var ZWAVEJS_EXTERNAL_CONFIG=./store/.config-db fix this command in order to customize the destination folder

[robertsLando]

Starting from next minor version setting that env var will not be needed anymore: #4055

Thanks!! Had to do a bit of googling but understand the issue now, guess I'll wait for a fix on your side, prev version just works fine! Thanks a lot for the answer!!!
