OH3: Error when using toString on a string item state

Setup, Configuration and Use Migration

Since the migration to OH3 (OpenHabian) one of my rules doesn’t work anymore. With additional debug logs I was able to identify that the following lines don’t work anymore for some reason:

var String strHarmonyActivity = ST_HARMONY_CurrentActivity.state.toString
var boolean boolHarmonyDreamboxActivity = strHarmonyActivity.contains("TV")

When the rule is executed I get the following error in the log:

2020-12-30 00:06:27.501 [ERROR] [internal.handler.ScriptActionHandler] - Script execution of rule with UID 'default-6' failed: cannot invoke method public abstract java.lang.String org.openhab.core.items.Item.getName() on null in default

Sadly I didn’t find any solutions for this error in the forum. Any idea what could cause this error?

sorry cannot tell you what went wrong, if i put this line in my oh3 it works. maybe the error is somewhere else?

Sorry I just found out that the error does not occur in those two lines, but the line just after that:

logError("Test", triggeringItem.name)

I already found a thread about this problem and some issues on GitHub. It seems that triggeringItem now only works on “Member of” triggers.

Correct, but triggeringItemName works for the other times.

it doesn’t work for me for some reason…
I’m now trying to migrate my oh 2.5 rules to oh 3.0
Here is what causes a pain for me for the moment:

receivedEvent.channel

With oh3 receivedEvent became a String.
Is there any list of all implicit variables that could be used in rules?
