I have this too, it comes from org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.ErrorTranslatorImpl but not sure why.

*.nocache.js = GWT permutation selector script, i.e. script responsible for loading correct JavaScript for given browser & locale.

Missing *.nocache.js typically means WebAdmin/UserPortal GWT compilation wasn't enabled for the build, since this file is generated during GWT compilation.

Please check deployment of this file in JBoss, i.e. $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments/engine.ear/webadmin.war/webadmin/webadmin.nocache.js

If ^^ is missing, WebAdmin GWT compilation wasn't enabled for the build. You need to enable it in order to use WebAdmin:

    $ make install-dev PREFIX="${HOME}/ovirt-engine" BUILD_GWT=1 BUILD_GWT_USERPORTAL=1 BUILD_GWT_WEBADMIN=1

(In Makefile, BUILD_GWT=1 & BUILD_GWT_USERPORTAL=1 & BUILD_GWT_WEBADMIN=1 is actually the default setting.)

ovirt_web_admin.css (branding CSS) is served from local filesystem regardless of GWT compilation, i.e. /etc/ovirt-engine/branding/00-ovirt.brand/ovirt_web_admin.css

Because of missing *.nocache.js as mentioned above.
