[Developer Sidebar] Running rule in Uninitialized state appears to work but doesn't

[rkoshak]

The problem

When there is something wrong with a rule it falls into an Uninitialized status. Attempting to run such a rule from the rule's page throws up a toast saying "Rule cannot be run if uninitialized".

However, if the rule is run from the developer sidebar the "Runing rule" toast pops up and the rule appears to run. However there is no error anywhere in the UI. Eventually I say an error message in openhab.log.

Expected behavior

Click the run button from the developer sidebar behaves the same as pushing the play button from the rule's page.

Steps to reproduce

configuration: {}
triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      itemName: TestSwitch
    type: core.ItemStateChangeTrigger
conditions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "3"
    configuration:
      type: application/javascript
      script: console.info('Test rule condition');
    type: script.ScriptCondition
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      type: application/javascript
      script: console.info('Test Rule action');
    type: script.ScriptAction
  - inputs: {}
    id: "3"
    configuration:
      type: application/broken
      script: console.info('Broken Test Rule action');
    type: script.ScriptAction

This rule is an error because action 3 has an invalid mime type.

1. Deploy a broken rule
2. click the play button on the rule page and see the "can't run" message
3. search for, pin, and click the play button from the developer sidebar and see the "Running rule" message
