Joda error allthough adding locale

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

I get the following error message:

Failed to execute script: i: Pattern using (localized) text not implemented, use @js-joda/locale plugin!

As documented, I installed a Locale by npm install @js-joda/locale_de-de in the $OPENHAB_CONF/automation/js folder.
Here is the code:

var Locale = require('@js-joda/locale_de-de').Locale.GERMAN;
console.log(time.LocalDateTime.now().format(time.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("EEEE, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").withLocale(Locale)));

Permissions are set correctly.
Where is my fault?

The npm install completed without error? Do you see the folder $OH_CONF/automation/js/node_modules/@js-joda/locale_de-de and does it have contents?

Have you restarted OH since installing the node module? That shouldn’t be necessary but :man_shrugging:.

What’s the setting Cache setting for the JS Scripting add-on?

Yes, I have restarted OH and I can see the locale folder including its content:
/etc/openhab/automation/js/node_modules/@js-joda/locale_de-de/dist `

JS settings are set to

  • Integrated Variables
  • Cache Library Injection

It does not make any difference if I change the settings.

Forgot to mention that I am using Java 21.

EDIT: I had to install @js-joda/timezone, too. But the error is still there.

I managed to do some experiments yesterday and I’m seeing the same error. I know this worked at some point so I think there is a bug or regression or the like that has cropped up. To start file an issue on openhab-js and see where that goes.

I’ve also tried it with e instead of E as the docs indicate that’s the localized string but get the same error. I get no error if I remove the “EEEE” part and leave the rest which shows it is not some other type of general formatting problem.

Quite a while, but I found the prolem. It needs to be

console.log(java.time.LocalDateTime.now().format(java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("EEEE, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").withLocale(java.util.Locale.GERMAN)));

instead of

var Locale = require('@js-joda/locale_de-de').Locale.GERMAN;
console.log(time.LocalDateTime.now().format(time.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("EEEE, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss").withLocale(Locale)));

just to let you know as you also experienced the same problem.

keep in mind that’s using Java’s date time classes, not joda-js. They are not the same and they are not compatible.
