Javascript failing. Multiple engine support?
18
👍
0The issue:
When trying to download a jar file from https://spigotmc.org we get a "default values inside destructuring assignments are not supported" exception.
The root of this problem lays at the javascript engine used by htmlunit (mozilla/rhino#756).
We have two possible fixes:
- Integrating another javascript(graaljs) engine. #201 (comment)
- Adding support for default values inside destructuring assignments in the rhino engine mozilla/rhino#756
Status:
- A lot of work, due to htmlunits strong dependency on rhino. Seems almost impossible for one single person with little insight to htmlunit (me)
- No feedback from the authors. Also, rhino is updated very infrequently(mozilla/rhino#756)

HtmlUnit / htmlunit
HtmlUnit is a "GUI-Less browser for Java programs".
