528207 - For envjs, load() only works from an interactive shell.

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

[Chris Dary]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: Rhino 1.7 release 3 PRERELEASE 2009 07 08

From an interactive rhino shell, I can run:

js> load('env.rhino.js');
js> print(typeof(Envjs));
function

However, when I run the same thing from within a file, I get undefined. See below:

user-12ld1po:readabilityCL umbrae$ cat test.js
load('env.rhino.js');
print(typeof(Envjs));

user-12ld1po:readabilityCL umbrae$ js test.js
undefined


Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Envjs is not loaded when I invoke a test js file from the command line.

Expected Results:  
Envjs to be loaded properly.

I was just informed that running the jar with -opt -1 will remove a file limit that is imposed when running scripts away from the interpreter.

I still think this is confusing and not well documented anywhere, so I'm going to leave this ticket open.
