Two years ago I wrote a couple of rules (Javascript and RuleDSL) on openHAB 3.2 and 3.3, with the default openHAB logging settings printing out everything I needed to write & debug my rules. When something did not work, I received explicit information on what’s not working/ where things broke down.
I have the impression that on openHAB 3.4.4, things has changed:
logWarn (in Rule DSL) only worked again after I set log:set warn org.openhab.core.model.script (though logger.warn in JavaScript still doesn’t work).
Rules that don’t work due to a bug (JavaScript and RuleDSL) don’t show up with anything at all in the logs, independent from the log level I use (I tried out some, but no change).
Am I missing something? I’m using the default log level after a fresh 3.4.4 install.
Of course so. When they don’t run - no matter what the reason for that is - the log statements are never executed. I doubt it has been different ever before.
My description was maybe not that clear. What I meant: Back then, when a rule got executed but stopped somewhere in the middle (e.g. because of syntax error) the log showed at least some hint. Right now, the log shows everything until the rule hits an error, and from there onwards, it does not show anything at all. That, if I’m not completely mistaken, used to be different.
Thanks a lot. tl;dr: You were right, my $OPENHAB_USERDATA/etc/log4j2.xml was messed up. I got it working again, and the log (again) nicely shows errors of rules.
Here’s what’s odd: My log4j2.xml was indeed messed up. Interestingly, in the same folder I had a file log4j2.xml.bak (which I definitely did not create myself), which contained a version of the file which got everything back to normal. Question is: How did this get there? A bug that should be reported?
The version that was activated (that did not work) looked the following.
