XF 2.2 File health check failure

[GrumbleShark]

Recently moved from vBulletin to Xenforo, and things are going well overall. Having said that, I have begun getting this message every night:

File health check results
Check completed on 5,443 files. The files listed below have contents different from those originally downloaded.

If you have edited these files yourself, you may ignore this message, otherwise you should investigate further as this may be evidence of corrupted or altered files.
XenForo Redirects for vBulletin
src/addons/XF301VB/SourceLocation/index.php Unexpected contents

This is the original contents of that file:

<?php

// Enter the full path to your XenForo directory here:
$dir = '/home/username/public_html/xenforo2';

require($dir . '/src/XF.php');

XF::start($dir);
XF::runApp('XF301VB\Pub\App');

And here are the contents of my file:

<?php

// Enter the full path to your XenForo directory here:
$dir = '/home/XXXXX/public_html/forum';

require($dir . '/src/XF.php');

XF::start($dir);
XF::runApp('XF301VB\Pub\App');

I feel this is a false positive, however I'm not sure how to mark this file as safe.
Is there a way to tell File Health to chill?

Is there a way to tell File Health to chill?

No. The check depends on some hash code.

What you can do is download the file again from source and overwrite your file.
The other way is to generate a hash code yourself so the issue will be gone.

Or Xenforo needs to fix it.

Or you can generate a code yourself.

XF 2.0 Thread 'How do I create hashes.json for changes in an addon'

Jul 20, 2018

I paid a developer to create an addon for me and I have made changes to within the addon itself so the hashes.json file is all wrong. So I was wondering if someone could spell out for me in very simple terms how can I create a hashes.json file for the addon that now has the changes in it. Please please in very simple terms like step 1 do this, step 2 do that

Your help is appreciated

Thank you very much.

Uploading the original files would not have worked in this situation, as that file is intended to be edited (as far as I understand).

However running

php cmd.php xf-addon:build-release XF301VB

Allowed me to create / export a new hashes.json that fixed the problem.

Pretty strange that it even requires you to edit the path like that, it's a file within an addon so it already knows where src/XF.php is relative to itself

You are meant to copy those files elsewhere before modifying them, if vBulletin was installed in a different location to XenForo:

Import notes: vBulletin | Manual | XenForo

End-user documentation for XenForo

xenforo.com

That makes more sense Missed it’s an official import related addon.
