openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Config validation error after removing bundled plugins from allowlist (RESOLVED) [4 comments, 2 participants]

Failed to start CLI: Error: Invalid config at /Users/andy51/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to restore the bundled plugins to the plugins.allow list or wait for an update that properly handles bundled plugins in the configuration validation.

Guidance

• Verify that the plugins.allow list only contains the required non-bundled plugin (openclaw-lark) and test if the issue persists with the bundled plugins removed.
• Check the OpenClaw documentation for any specific instructions on handling bundled plugins in the plugins.allow list.
• Consider reaching out to the OpenClaw maintainers (@openclaw/maintainers) for further guidance on the correct configuration schema for bundled vs installed plugins.
• Test the workaround of restoring the bundled plugins to the plugins.allow list to ensure the CLI starts without errors.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to configuration and not code.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to a configuration validation error when bundled plugins are removed from the plugins.allow list. The exact cause and solution may depend on the specific OpenClaw version and configuration.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround of restoring the bundled plugins to the plugins.allow list, as it is the most straightforward way to resolve the issue and allow the OpenClaw CLI to start without errors.
