Node.js require

[Sparkwired]

I have a very simple node script to call, which requires ripple-lib. Before trying to execute the script, I'm setting up a NodeJS instance like this:

final NodeJS nodeJS = NodeJS.createNodeJS();
final V8Object jimp = nodeJS.require(new File("/Users/tomvdh/node_modules/ripple-lib"));

Unfortunately, this results in the following stacktrace:

/Users/tomvdh/node_modules/ripple-lib/dist/npm/api.js:72: SyntaxError: Unexpected token =
constructor(options = {}) {
^

When I call the node script that I want to run on the command line, it executes fine so node and ripple-lib are ok. I'm running this on a Mac, my local npm is on 6.4.1, using following Maven dep for J2V8:

com.eclipsesource.j2v8 j2v8_macosx_x86_64 4.6.0

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Additional info: was at the latest node version, now downgraded to v6.15.0 but this results in the same error.

I'm reducing the scope of this project to only support V8 on Android. If someone wants to take over the NodeJS support in a downstream project, I'd be in support of that, but I can't maintain that as part of this project. See #441 for more information.

I'm closing this as out of scope.
