Warning about "secrtets" from apps where yaml is commented out

[Aephir]

What happened?

Whenever, I comment out some app in yaml, if that app config contains a reference to secrets.yaml, I get a warning in the logs.

To be clear: This happens when the yaml is commented out, not when it is uncommented. When I remove the comments, everything just works with no warnings.

It loads values from secrets.yaml just fine when the yaml is not commented. I also have a Home Assistant Community post about this.

FYI: The Addon does not report AppDaemon version, it just shows it as 4.x. I am musing the Addon v0.16.4

Version

4.x

Installation type

Home Assistant add-on

Only the version WITH comments as shown here is problematic.

Same issue here. But it doesn't look like it negatively affects anything, so it can probably be ignored. Seems like a misleading warning though :thinking:
