Does anyone have a nice means to upload ECMAScript JS rules other than copy’n’paste via UI ? They are text by nature, they get stored as text, but so far I cannot upload them non-interactively like I can do with DSL rules files, so for now I cannot use my favorite editor, cannot modularize sources …

Just to cover the basics, you’ve cloned and installed the Helper Library? Pay special care that the main branch isn’t the one you need. You need js-rewrite branch. I think the default branch (ivans-rewrites) doesn’t support OH 3 for JS. As I said, I’ve never written JS rules in text files, but I k…

There is an OH2 method shown here, should be something like? [image] Monitoring Thing Status Bindings You can achieve that by being creative with the next-gen rule engine (NGRE) and the core.GenericEventTrigger module type and listen to a certain type of event,…

It’s really a multipart question with a multipart answer. I assume you are referring strictly to UI created rules. If writing your rules in .js files then there’s no. upload required. You just put your .js files in $OH_CONF/automation/jsr223/javascript/personal and they get picked up just like .rul…

[image] rlkoshak: You just put your .js files in $OH_CONF/automation/jsr223/javascript/personal and they get picked up just like .rules files. Is that also possible for complete rules (with triggers and conditions, eventually) ? If so what’s the syntax for that ? In Jython there’s decorators …

[image] mstormi: Is that also possible for complete rules (with triggers and conditions, eventually) ? If so what’s the syntax for that ? Yes and it’s not well documented. You’ll have to dig through the Helper Library source code and at times even the openHAB JavaDocs. There are a few example…

I posted examples of triggers and other rules with the new Helper Libraries syntax that I got working, starting here: [image] JavaScript examples that have worked for you. Put them here for others to use Tutorials & Examples I’m going to post some complete exa…

[image] LordLiverpool: I posted examples of triggers and other rules with the new Helper Libraries syntax that I got working, I’m not getting there yet. I have installed JS Scripting in UI and copied Core/ to /etc/openhab as Ivan’s install docs say. Any .js in /etc/openhab/automation/jsr223…

[image] mstormi: I have installed JS Scripting in UI Oh, wait. You are not using the default Nashorn ECMAScript 5.1 that comes with OH by default? Yea, the JS add-on totally breaks Nashorn, does not work much like Nashorn rules do and is incompatible with the Helper Libraries. There is very …

Uh, then that was by mistake. I installed it after there was no rule to trigger at all. Yep I was wondering about some GraalVM error already. Ok so uninstalled it again. Placing something.js in personal/ is detected now, however as described the when() decorator (or whatever it is) is still unknow…

getting closer. Yes the imports were missing. Replaced with the js-rewrite branch but now I’m getting 2021-09-08 22:51:50.915 [INFO ] [rt.internal.loader.ScriptFileWatcher] - Loading script '/etc/openhab/automation/jsr223/javascript/personal/test.js' 2021-09-08 22:51:50.917 [DEBUG] [ipt.internal.S…

At this point we have reached the end of my knowledge. TriggerBuilder is used all over the place in triggers.js. But it’s not defined there. I think it’s actually referring to org.openhab.core.automation.util.TriggerBuilder which is an OH Java class. triggers.js imports Triggerbuilder as part of th…
