REST API /automation not working?

[erjoalgo]

After upgrading to the latest speculos I noticed the /automation endpoint doesn't seem to be working as expected:

• In the past, I could call curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:5000/automation" -d @/tmp/automation.json on a running API and have the automation executed immediately.
• Now, I only get a 200 HTTP status, but nothing else happens, I assume the automation was posted but not actually triggered, which seems wrong because my automation's only condition is "conditions": [[ "seen", false ]]
• Running the server with the --automation flag does work as expected, but a warning recommends to use the API and that the flag will be deprecated
• After posting the automation, executing some other action manually like pressing left/right, I get a crash:

Shouldn't the REST API not only set the automation rules, but also check if they can be run immediately?

from flask import request
import json
import jsonschema

from ..mcu import automation as mcu_automation
from .restful import SephResource


class Automation(SephResource):
    def post(self):
        document = request.get_data()

        try:
            document = document.decode("ascii")
        except UnicodeDecodeError:
            return "invalid encoding", 400

        if document.startswith("file:"):
            return "invalid document", 400

        try:
            rules = mcu_automation.Automation(document)
        except json.decoder.JSONDecodeError:
            return "invalid document", 400
        except jsonschema.exceptions.ValidationError:
            return "invalid document", 400

        self.seph.automation = rules

        # TODO check to see if automation should be triggerd now
        return {}, 200

Here's what my automation looks like:

{
    "version": 1,
    "rules": [
        {
            "conditions": [[ "seen", false ]],
            "actions": [
                [ "setbool", "seen", true ],

                ["button", 2, true],
                ["button", 2, false],

                ["button", 2, true],
                ["button", 2, false],

                ["button", 2, true],
                ["button", 2, false],

                ["button", 2, true],
                ["button", 2, false],

...
...

I tried removing condition field or adding a text condition, this doesn't appear to change anything.

@erjoalgo Hello, which version of speculos did you use before upgrading to the last version?

[erjoalgo]

Possibly v0.5.0, commit e262a0c, although not completely sure.
