v8 JSVU (JavaScript engine Version Updater)
Use jsvu to install and test across multiple JavaScript engines (e.g., v8,
spidermonkey, javascriptcore, chakra).
Installation and Setup
For non-interactive installation and updating of specific engines on Linux, run:
npx jsvu --os=linux64 --engines=v8,spidermonkey,javascriptcore
You can customize the --engines flag with the engines you wish to test (e.g.,
v8,v8-debug,spidermonkey,javascriptcore,graaljs).
Running Engines
Once installed, the engines are available in ~/.jsvu/bin/. You can run them
directly:
~/.jsvu/bin/v8 my_test.js
~/.jsvu/bin/spidermonkey my_test.js
~/.jsvu/bin/javascriptcore my_test.js
This allows you to easily cross-reference behaviors and bugs against other major JS engines.
