HTML frontend: files in /items/ missing

[cweiske]

Description

I've installed ebusd 25.1 from the official apt repository, and then cloned the git repository into /usr/local/src/ebusd/ to obtain the HTML frontend files. Then I modified /etc/defaults/ebusd and added the parameters --httpport=80 --htmlpath=/usr/local/src/ebusd/contrib/html/, and then restarted ebusd.

Now I can access the HTML interface via http://heizr-va/ but it does not work - only a grey box is visible with the text "eBUS" inside, nothing more.

Actual behavior

Only a grey box is visible with the text "eBUS" inside, nothing more.

The browser console shows

404: GET http://heizr-va/items/700.json
   XML Parsing Error: no root element found
   Location: http://heizr-va/items/700.json
   Line Number 1, Column 1:
404: GET http://heizr-va/items/Broadcast.json
404: GET http://heizr-va/items/hmu.json
404: GET http://heizr-va/items/Scan.08.json
404: GET http://heizr-va/items/Scan.15.json
404: GET http://heizr-va/items/Scan.76.json

Those files in the items directory do not exist.
There is a broadcast.json, but with a lowercase B.
The other files do not exist; "Scan.*.json" look like dynamic data.

Should ebusd write the scan files into the items directory? How is it supposed to work?

Expected behavior

HTML interface does not bring errors and shows heat pump status.
