If i want to enable tokenjuice through direct config file modification. Where do i do it ? config.json5 or the openclaw.json ?

Use ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, not config.json5.

OpenClaw’s config file is named openclaw.json, but it uses JSON5 syntax, so this is valid:

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      tokenjuice: {
        enabled: true,
      },
    },
  },
}

If the gateway is running, it usually reloads automatically. If not, do:

#

openclaw gateway restart

but how do i know it is already working ? Are there log inside the gateway i can see ? Or it will just work and i should just believe so

Yep, you can verify it, no need to just trust vibes 🙂

Best checks:

See if the plugin is loaded
```
openclaw plugins inspect tokenjuice
```
or
```
openclaw plugins list --enabled
```
If it’s active, tokenjuice should show up there.
Do a real behavior test
The docs recommend running a noisy exec command, like git status, in a session that can use exec.

#

If tokenjuice is working, the returned tool result should be shorter / more structured than raw shell spam.

Check gateway logs if you want
```
openclaw logs --follow
```
After enabling it or restarting, you can watch for plugin/config reload activity. Logs are useful, but the functional test above is the real proof.

Small gotcha: current docs say tokenjuice currently applies to Pi embedded runs. So if you enable it somewhere else and see no difference, that may be why.

That output is the clue: tokenjuice is blocked by your plugins.allow list.

So you need both:

plugins.entries.tokenjuice.enabled: true
plugins.allow must include "tokenjuice"
or remove plugins.allow entirely if you do not want an allowlist

Example:

{
  plugins: {
    allow: ["browser", "tokenjuice"], // keep your other entries too
    entries: {
      tokenjuice: {

#

        enabled: true,
      },
    },
  },
}

Then save and let the gateway reload, or run:

openclaw gateway restart

How to verify:

#

openclaw plugins inspect tokenjuice

You want the not in allowlist error to be gone.

If you also want runtime proof:

openclaw logs --follow

and do a noisy exec test. But one important gotcha: the current docs say tokenjuice currently applies to Pi embedded runs, so on other setups it may load correctly but still not visibly change output.

Nice, this means config is mostly correct now. OpenClaw is trying to load tokenjuice, but the plugin is failing at runtime.

The important part is this:

Cannot find module '../rules/tests/bun-test.json'

So this is not an allowlist problem anymore and not really an openclaw.json syntax problem. It looks like a bundled plugin runtime-deps/package staging issue.

What I’d do next:

Paste your version
```
openclaw --version
```

#

Repair bundled plugin runtime deps
```
openclaw doctor --fix
```
Restart gateway
```
openclaw gateway restart
```
Check again
```
openclaw plugins inspect tokenjuice
```

A useful detail: I checked the published tokenjuice package, and dist/rules/tests/bun-test.json does exist there, so the problem is likely with how that build staged the bundled dependency, not with your config.

#

So the short version is:

openclaw.json: correct place for OpenClaw runtime config
your tokenjuice.enabled config: looks fine
current blocker: likely bug / broken staged dependency in this build

If doctor --fix + restart still gives the same error, I’d treat it as a bug and ask you to file a GitHub issue with:

openclaw --version
openclaw plugins inspect tokenjuice
the exact error you pasted

Docs:

If you want, paste the output of openclaw --version and openclaw doctor --fix, and I’ll help interpret it.

Yep, this pretty much confirms it: your config is fine, the bundled plugin is broken in that build.

This is the key bit:

Status: error
Failure phase: load
Cannot find module '../rules/tests/bun-test.json'

So at this point it is not:

wrong file (openclaw.json vs config.json5)
missing allowlist entry
bad enabled: true syntax

It looks like a 2026.4.22 bundled-plugin runtime-deps packaging/staging bug for tokenjuice. I checked current source and there are bundled plugin staging fixes landed after 2026.4.22 that look related.

#

What I’d do

Update to a newer build/image
- If this is Docker, update the container image and recreate it.
- If this is a normal install, update OpenClaw normally.
Retry
```
openclaw plugins inspect tokenjuice
```
Temporary workaround
If you just want things clean for now, disable tokenjuice again.

Bottom line

You’re not missing a config knob here, this smells like a real bug in that release.

If updating still fails on the newest build, please file a GitHub issue and include exactly what you pasted:

#tokenjuice
