Hello All,
I am using build b166 of JDK 9.
And I tried to run the following code:
ScriptEngineManager engineManager = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = engineManager.getEngineByName("nashorn");
engine.eval("function sum(a, b) { return a + b; }");
System.out.println(engine.eval("sum(1, 2);"));
engine.eval("var name = 'Sanaulla'");
System.out.println(engine.eval("print(`Hello Mr. ${name}`)"));
The sum(1,2) works fine by printing 3. But the other part i.e using
template strings throws the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" javax.script.ScriptException: <eval>:1:6
Expected an operand but found error
print(`Hello Mr. ${name}`)
^ in <eval> at line number 1 at column number 6

I even tried running template strings from jjs console, but I am facing
same issue.
Can someone please guide me in using the ES6 features in Nashorn on JDK9?
