Precompiling js script files fails from docker container

[gkontos]

When running the container 'outofcoffee/imposter-all:3.36.0' with a script, the following error is encountered:

The script in question was simplified to

var requestStore = stores.open('myRequest');

respond()
    .usingDefaultBehaviour()

This error does not occur when running the same version of imposter through the CLI or Jar files when running with openJDK 19 or jdk-22.

I hit the same issue. It does work with the outofcoffee/imposter image, but https://docs.imposter.sh/scripting_modern_js/ recommended to use the gral-js plugin which I hoped would be included in the outofcoffee/imposter-all image.

[gkontos]

Ah! We didn't try the gral-js plugin, just the default js. We were using imposter-all for the faker plugin.

Hi @gkontos and @rnestler - thank you for raising this and investigating.

This is caused by a clash between some of the plugins included in the all distro. Whilst we work on fixing that, there's an interim solution where the all distro now includes the js-graal plugin as suggested by @rnestler.

This is released in v3.36.1.

It looks like the work-around you used (specifying the IMPOSTER_JS_PLUGIN=js-graal environment variable) avoids this issue in v3.36.1.

[Pete Cornish]

The underlying issue with the plugin conflict in the all distro should be fixed in v3.36.2.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue.

[Raphael Nestler]

v3.36.2 fixes the issue for me. I was wondering why graal-js isn't the default though. It was very surprising to me, that the JS scripting didn't support "modern" features by default.

[gkontos]

The update resolves the issue for me too. Thanks!
