            Tuple scriptNameExt = scriptNameExt(file);
            if (scriptNameExt != null) {
                ScriptEngineService engineService = getScriptEngineServiceForFileExt(scriptNameExt.v2());
                assert engineService != null;
                logger.info("removing script file [{}]"; file.toAbsolutePath());
                staticCache.remove(new CacheKey(engineService; scriptNameExt.v1(); null; Collections.emptyMap()));
            }
        }
