rules.runRule broken in 5.1.0

[absorb-it]

I can't run any rule with runRule (in blockly or in a blockly script) with 5.1.0 latest snapshot (16.9.2025). This worked up to 5.0.1.

Error is: "TypeError: Cannot read property "receivedEvent" from null in @openhab-globals.js at line number 2 at column number 57031"

I just had a look into the changes and I assume without too much knowledge of the context that the problem lies in PR #466 (@florian-h05). This seems to have introduced some usage of "event" in line 505 rules.js outside the verified scope. Probably a change into if (event && event.receivedEvent) { might fix this problem.

I can provide some PR with the suggested fix, but I have no idea if I'm even thinking in the right direction, nor do I have the chance to test this.

Hope there is some fix, regards, Rene

Good catch, thanks for reporting.

The issue is actually that it should be data.receivedEvent instead of event.receivedEvent ... I will fix this.

You can either modify openhab-js locally (if installed to node_modules) or wait for a new snapshot with the fix included (I am planning to release a new openhab-js version soon, so that should be soon as well).
