You need to run the update as that is way behind the latest version V9.9.8
That may solve the problem.
Hi @Neil, Have you done an update recently? The git descibe suggests that the update has not worked for some reason.
From Setup/Administration I performed both emonPi Update and emonBase Update. The git describe still reads: Describe: 9.9.4-247-gd0db7a57
Please don’t spend too much time for me, I just wanted you to see what I was seeing. I can wait for you experts to resolve the issue.
Have a great day.
Odd.
Could you tell me what your setup is please (EmonPi/EmonBase/EmonSD). Are you comfortable with SSH & git?
If so, please SSH into the system and run
sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms status
sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe
and copy and paste the output here please.
Here you go…
pi@emonpi:~ $ sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms status
On branch stable
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/stable'.
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
scripts/logger/logrotate.conf.old
scripts/logger/logrotate.old
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
pi@emonpi:~ $
and…
pi@emonpi: ~ $ sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe
9.9.4-247-gd0db7a57
pi@emonpi: ~ $
Most odd.
could you try
sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe --tags --debug
please?
pi@emonpi:~ $ sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe --tags --debug

Try this just to clean up the repository, then the --tags --debug command again
sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms fetch --all --prune -v

I ran sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms fetch --all --prune -v
Then sudo git -C /var/www/emoncms describe --tags --debug
Looks good now:

Ah better.
@TrystanLea may be worth adding a git fetch --all --prune to the update script for all repositories just to keep them clean.

But the problem of virtual feeds don’t fixe 
Problems creating virtual feed after update
Unable to Create a Virtual Feed
No it won’t have. I have suggested a change and that will have to be accepted. Even then it will not be fixed until a new release, unless you change branch with git.
I say your resquest in git.
Regards
It’s a clear regression - I was able to create virtual feeds prior to my latest update and now I can’t - so hopefully it will be fixed soon.
