I think the need to figure out the language agnostic way to test GLVs is
becoming more important. I was pretty close to getting nashorn to execute
gremlin-javascript natively, but there's weird pathing issue and npm
integration issues that just aren't making it easy (possible). I tried to hack
my way around the pathing problems and while i was making progress it was just
getting ugly. I'll need to think about the language agnostic approach a bit
before I worry about trying to go any further in this direction.
> Provide a Javascript Gremlin Language Variant
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TINKERPOP-1489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1489
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: language-variant
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5
> Reporter: Jorge Bay
>
> It would be nice to have a Javascript Gremlin Language Variant that could
> work with any ES5 runtime, specially the ones that support
> [CommonJs|http://requirejs.org/docs/commonjs.html], like Node.js.
> Nashorn, the engine shipped with JDK 8+, does not implement CommonJs but
> provides [additional
> extensions|https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Nashorn/Nashorn+extensions]
> making modular JavaScript possible. Nashorn should be supported in order to
> run glv tests under the same infrastructure (JDK8).
