And tell which Java version are you using.

Best regards.

I didn't make any special configurations: I just downloaded the latest version of Zap, installed all the extensions, and right after launching, I switched to the script tab.

I'm sorry for not reading the update blog post in detail. I think the following description should explain why the JavaScript community is not being loaded: it uses the Nashorn engine.

ZAP – ZAP 2.16.0

Ah yes, that could be the problem.

We try to run "old" java script files with the new Graaljs engine but they may need converting.

Looking forward to the new version, Thanks.

ZAP 2.16.0 was released last week :)

If your scripts need to be changed then I'm afraid you will need to change them.

We have no more changes planned in this area.

Cheers,

You should use a Java version lower than 22, the GraalVM JavaScript
add-on does not currently work with 22 and above.

Issue being tracked in https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/issues/8477

I've switched to Java version 21.0.2, and it's working great now. Thank you!
