#1907 Failed to parse javascript

[ChristopheD]

Hello,

HtmlUnit failed to parse a Javascript (maybe the javascript is malformed) with the error :

ERROR [main] (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.StrictErrorReporter) - error: message=[missing ; before statement] sourceName=...

Browsers are able to manage that missing ; so is there any parameter at the htmlUnit that would allow me set the parsing to a less strict mode ?

Please provide test case.

Ok, can reproduce your problem, but the js file hast 17000 lines, and contains also minified js code. If you like to have this fixed it will be a great help if you can strip down this to a simple sample.

From a first look i guess class definitions like

class GeoRedirect {
}

are not supported by Rhino/Core-JS so far

Hi,

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately this is a JS from one of our customer and we have no option to alter it.

Is there any option to skip the unsupported code ?

Maybe you can try to 'fix' the code by makeing some changes before HtmlUnit tries to parse the code.
Have a look at the FAQ. There is a sample
How to modify the outgoing request or incomming response.

Hi,

I did it and it works now. Any idea when HtmlUnit will be able to manage classes in Javascript ?

This depends on Rhino, maybe you can ask there or vote...
