MaryTTS gives Jama/Matrix errors for only some rules

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: VMware virtual machine on HP DL380 gen 9
    • OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
    • Java Runtime Environment: oracle Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
    • openHAB version: 2.5 installed by apt package
  • Issue of the topic: Since openHAB 2.3 this issue has been occurring: some rules that have TTS commands will fail for java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Jama/Matrix

Original install was 2.0 on clean os install, then upgraded to 2.3 and recently to 2.5 hoping it would fix the issue introduced in 2.3.

I can consistenly duplicate the behavior in the console:
this works:

smarthome:voice say “washer is done dryer is done.”

this does not:

smarthome:voice say “washer is done. dryer is done.”
Error executing command: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Jama/Matrix

I have cleared the cache and tmp folders. no change.

Where should I be looking to get the voice notifications working like the did in 2.0?

Try using the latest snapshot jar file.

Uninstall MaryTTS via PaperUI and place the snapshot jar file (not the sources jar) in /usr/share/openhab2/addons then restart OH.

Thanks.

Uninstalled MaryTTS 2.5.3 from PaperUI. downloaded and moved 2.5.4 snapshot file to addons as suggested.
Stopped and restarted OH; stopped, cleared cache and restarted; and finally rebooted.
No change in behavior, but it’s not broken any worse than it was.

Anything else to look at?

Looking at the two examples above the only difference is the period between the two comments. Have you tried using a comma instead? If the period is needed maybe try adding backslash’s e.g. comment.\comment 2.

Also, set the binding to DEBUG and check the logs, it may give a better idea of what the issue is. And try using quotes with each comment.
Examples:

smarthome:voice say "washer is done". "Dryer is done."
smarthome:voice say "washer is done\.\ dryer is done."
smarthome:voice say "washer is done, dryer is done."

Single quote

smarthome:voice say 'washer is done. dryer is done.'

Hey @Grumpy.Oldman I could reproduce your issue and made a fix for it:

I hope that will resolve your issues! :slight_smile:
