OH 5.0.0 to OH5.1.0-SNAPHOT Error - ScriptEngine for language 'application/javascript' could not be found for identifier:

Mark_VG · August 17, 2025, 7:39am

Hi All

Hoping for some help/advise.

I have tried to update my working OH 5.0.0 system to the latest SNAPSHOT and I am now getting the following errors:

2025-08-17 09:28:14.091 [ERROR] [ipt.internal.ScriptEngineManagerImpl] - ScriptEngine for language 'application/javascript' could not be found for identifier: 7d3de9b5-05ca-42d8-a090-9aeaf9f3f59b

I also see the following warning:

I would appreciate any suggestions advise as this was a working setup.

Thanks

The JS Scripting add-on isn’t installed so every time a rule or transform triggers that needs that add-on you get an error.

After an upgrade it can take some time for all the add-ons and bundles to get downloaded and reinstalled with the new versions. During that time, OH will continue to start up and run so stuff will start happening before everything is available.
Usually letting things settle after an upgrade than doing a restart is sufficient. However, if you see errors about installing add-ons during start up than that’s the root problem.

Hi Rich

Thanks fro the response. I did leave the system for quite some time and restarted to double check.

I have just tried again and get the same errors:

I do not see any errors related to insralling addons etc.

Any other suggestions?

No, whether add-ons are installed and available has no influence over run levels.

From the karaf console see if thejs-scripting bundle is Active.

314 │ Active │  80 │ 5.0.0                 │ openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: Automation :: JavaScript Scripting

Mark_VG · August 18, 2025, 5:54pm

The bundle is active:

281 │ Active │  80 │ 5.1.0.202508170329    │ openHAB Add-ons :: Bundles :: Automation :: JavaScript Scripting

rlkoshak · August 18, 2025, 6:00pm

Since this is on a snapshot, something may be broken. Please file an issue. I expect the problem is on the add-on so I would start there on the openhab-addons repo.

Lolodomo · August 18, 2025, 6:38pm

Look at this:

https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/19185

florian-h05 · August 18, 2025, 7:16pm

The linked issue isn’t related to what is reported here, and the issue title is slightly misleading as well.

BTW JS Scripting working fine for me in the snapshots on several installations, so I don’t think there is a general issue.

rlkoshak · August 18, 2025, 7:18pm

Also, if it’s complaining about the MIME type that implies managed and not file based, right?

Or do .js files also have the MIME type applied?

florian-h05 · August 18, 2025, 7:19pm

@Mark_VG Does it help to restart the bundle from the console?

bundle:restart BUNDLE_ID

(You need to get the bundle ID through

bundle:list org.openhab.automation.jsscripting

)

It seems there is an issue with the ScripEngineManager not „seeing“ JS Scripting.

florian-h05 · August 18, 2025, 7:22pm

Practically yes, though file based scripting also uses the ScriptEngineManager and gets the engine through the MIME type that is associated with the file extension.

If the add-on doesn’t start up and register its stuff properly .js files won’t load at all so for file based scripts the ScriptEngineManager won’t log those errors.

digitaldan · August 18, 2025, 7:36pm

So just FYI i also saw this error (mime type) as I mentioned in the github issue. I don’t know if after i enabled the new setting to auto inject for file based rules had any affect on this error, but my rules did load after enabling that.

Mark_VG · August 19, 2025, 5:12am

Does not make any difference and I do not see anything in the logs when I do this.

Also, just to confirm that all my rules are UI managed - no file based rules. I also use BLOCKLY

EDIT: What is strange in my BLOCKLY rules seem to work.

Maybe I need to determin what the identifiers link to and test that? Not sure how to do that though.

florian-h05 · August 19, 2025, 8:05am

Do you have a „rule engine started“ message in the logs?

Mclupo · August 19, 2025, 10:09am

I had the same error ( js transformation didn‘t work), rule engine was not running. I removed the js scripting add-on , did a restart of the docker container OH snap 4801 , reloaded js scripting add-on and change to ‚auto inject all scripts‘. Now it‘s working fine.

Mark_VG · August 19, 2025, 12:30pm

Hi

Yes, I do. It comes after the errors:

Just a heads-up, this issue also seems to have made its way into 5.0.1. After upgrading this morning I now see:
