Converting rules and .js files

[Aurelio (Aurelio Caliaro)]

I am trying to use my 2.x rules and the javascript snippets that I had developed. Very probably this is explained somewhere, as I am for sure not the first one having these problems, but I did not find the instructions.

I have two problems for now:

• .rules: triggeringItem is not passed to the rule anymore, the variable is zero. Can I replace that with another item?
• .js: All my javascript files start with the following lines:
  • load(Java.type(“java.lang.System”).getenv(“OPENHAB_CONF”)+’/automation/jsr223/jslib/JSRule.js’);
  • var ThingUID = Java.type(“org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.ThingUID”);
    These not work anymore. I understand that the second line should have the new namespace org.openhab.core.thing.ThingUID or something like that, but that doesn’t work either.

I would be very helpful if someone could point me to the instructions that I have missed.

.rules: triggeringItem is not passed to the rule anymore, the variable is zero. Can I replace that with another item?

event.itemName

Note that is just the name of the Item. To get the Item’s state you can use:

event.itemState or if it’s not the state from the triggering Item items[itemName].

All my javascript files start with the following lines:

First of all, I assume you are writing rules in .js files using the Helper Libraries? If so, the Helper Libraries have a different path and different file names than that. For example, to import the rules libraries the path would be /automation/lib/javascript/core/rules.js. Note that you must “install” the libraries manually yourself. If that load doesn’t work any more it’s because that SRule.js file doesn’t exist or doesn’t exists at that path.

@Aurelio

var ThingUID = Java.type(“org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.ThingUID”);

OH now has no references to org.eclipse.smarthome. That particular class is now in org.openhab.core.thing
