First steps in jython

All,

I want to give a try to jython rules. I installed the automation plugin and also folloed the instructions posted here.

When reaching the verification step with the hello_world.py, I get an error in the log

2021-01-24 23:15:04.069 [INFO ] [ab.core.service.AbstractWatchService] - Loading script '/etc/openhab/automation/jsr223/python/personal/hello_world.py'

I have not customized configuration.py (except for the email address), nor set EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS (according to this).

So, what am I missing?

FYI, the addition error appears at the start - see below.

Thanks!
Max

With openhab 3 you no longer need to modify the EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS. The error you are seeing is because the helper libraries have not been upgraded to work with OH3 yet, but there is an open Pull Request #376 with a version that works.

have a look here

@CrazyIvan359 , @HaKuNa

thanks for pointing out to the issue - I am not sure if I want to wait for the official release or going for the cutting edge… I am not a big fan of DSL rules :wink:

Max

@Max77 I finally migrated to OH3 with the Jithon helper libs workaround one week ago. No issues so far. I have 70 things, around 700 items and around 100 Jithon rules. There is only one DSL rule remaining (timeLinePicker).

@Max77 the changes required to get the libraries working on OH3 are actually quite small. I’ve done previous work on the Helper Libraries and went over Jim’s work and fixed a few things that were missed (that PR contains those updates). I have been running that version ever since with no issues, you should not be concerned about stability.

@HaKuNa , @CrazyIvan359

thanks a lot, patch installed and working :slight_smile:

Max

Next (small?) issue - I have tried the hello_world.py as instructed

"""
This script uses a decorated cron rule that will generate logs every 10s and can be used to test your initial setup.
"""

from core.rules import rule
from core.triggers import when

@rule("Jython Hello World (cron decorators)", description="This is an example cron triggered rule using decorators", tags=["Test tag", "Hello World"])# description and tags are optional
@when("Time cron 0/10 * * * * ?")
def hello_world_cron_decorators(event):
    hello_world_cron_decorators.log.info("Hello World!")

and I can see the rule is triggered by the cron event (in 10s +/- 2ms :sunglasses:)

But why I do not see any β€œHello World!” message? Am I missing something? I have looked to the different OH logging capabilities, but no explanation came to my mind.

Thanks for your help!
Max

Did you create a configuration.py file? If so, you may need to set the log level for whatever LOG_PREFIX is set to in karaf.

try log.warn or log.error

I have renamed configured.py and just left as-is

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
LOG_PREFIX = "jsr223.jython"

admin_email = "notimportant@gmail.com"

openhabHost = "localhost"
openhabPort = "8080"# "8443"

I am not really sure where to go from here…

Run log:set DEBUG jsr223.jython and see if that makes the log entries appear.

Thanks, it works now!

Now I can start working with JS223 rules - they seem the right way to get access to semantic data (as compared to DSL rules) and achieve what I want to do :slight_smile:
