Can't find scripting engine for 'javascript': scriptEngine is null

[fadi al-katout]

Hi am trying to upgrade to 7.4 

Am on MAC using oracle JDK 1.8.73

fadis-MacBook-Pro:areeba fadi$ java -version

java version "1.8.0_60"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

I get the following error when trying to execute a process with javascript (they used to work on Camunda 7.3 + JDK 1.7)

2016-02-29 14:34:53 [qtp525575644-133] ERROR org.camunda.bpm.engine.context - ENGINE-16004 Exception while closing command context: Can't find scripting engine for 'javascript': scriptEngine is null

Hi,

did you actually download the JDK from Oracle [1]. Or do you use some Mac Oracle JDK shipped by Apple?

Cheers,

Sebastian

OK it is working now, will I face the same issue with OpenJDK on linux?

Hi,

I think this should work with OpenJDK 8 on Linux.

Cheers,
