Just bumped the versions, but got stuck on this error:

Did you also update possible Vaadin add-ons to 25 compatible versions :thinking:

all using the same ${vaadin.version} variable

except:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>in.virit</groupId>
        <artifactId>viritin</artifactId>
        <version>2.19.4</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>in.virit</groupId>
        <artifactId>gauge</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.parttio</groupId>
        <artifactId>line-awesome</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.0</version>
    </dependency>

At least Viritin needs to be 3.0.0 or newer, error probably from there (the not found interface was removed from Vaadin 25). I can check the other add-ons as well, gauge might need an update as well.

Thanks, bumping viritin to 3.0.0 seems to fix the problem!

Yeah, tested, Gauge seems to be backwards compatible :+1:

BTW. Haven’t forgotten the dynamic view registration for your RaspberryPi app, it has just been quite an autumn with the V25 release. At least it should be more RaspberryPi compatible :nerd_face:: Faster and Slimmer Vaadin 25 | Vaadin
