What JavaScript Interpreter does the evaluate node use?

the Webex connect evaluate node allows you to write JavaScript code.
However it seems a lot of 'standard' JavaScript is not supported?

Does anyone what version the JavaScript interpreter uses?

Regards,

Hi @Gerry O'Rourke

I don’t have the answer to your question, but I had the same problem, I resorted to using Google Runtime or AWS lambdas (depending on what the client had) to circumvent the limitations of Webex Connect JavaScript, also I personally don’t like JavaScript and using a cloud 3rd party to run code in more powerful/backend oriented languages ( like: C#/python/Rust) seem more reasonable than fighting with JavaScript and the webex Connect limitations on it.

I believe it uses EcmaScript5 - so when using AI to help create JS - ask it to create JS using ES5.
