Issue with connman.service

Hi, I'm using dbus to try and connect to wifi access point. I've made a
provisioning file in /var/lib/connman as suggested by the documentation.
However, when I make the call to the endpoint Connect for the service that
I'm trying to connect to, I just get Operation Timeout or I get that the
signature doesn't exist. This happens when using my c program to do this as
well as doing this through d-feet. I'm not sure but it's like it ignores
the provisioning file that I have. Attached is the file that I've created
as an example. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

If I try to connect to a service with the "human readable" name with connmanctl, I also get

Method "Connect" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Service" doesn't exist

I need to use the ID in the second column (don't know how to call it, no column title) of the "services" command. That's something I mentioned in a recent thread, I think this could be improved.

That should be something like "wifi_<macaddress>_<hexencodedessid>_managed_psk".

But maybe that's totally unrelated to your problem :-)

Best,
th

Yep, the connmanctl tool could use a proper refresh... Anyway, if you
use the D-Bus interface all the IDs are based on the D-Bus paths and
names.

Correct, this is how the service is identified. It's also the identifier
you need to use in the config file though prefixed with 'service_'.

Maybe enable the debug log and look out of there is some 'Unable to
load...' or so. To avoid being spammed reduce the debug log scope to

connamnd -n -d src/storage.c:src/config.c
