"Parse error. XML runtime not available" with Play's javascript compiler

[Martin Studer]

Hi,

I try to use Play's Javascript asset compiler but run into the "Parse error. XML runtime not available" issue, even with extremely simple examples. The example I've tried:

@(s: String)


var weconfig = {
  "wsurl": 1
}

The exception I get:

! @6gb7i34j5 - Internal server error, for (GET) [/runWorkflow?id=147] ->

play.PlayExceptions$AssetCompilationException: Compilation error[Parse error. XML runtime not available]

        at play.core.jscompile.JavascriptCompiler$.compile(JavascriptCompiler.scala:59) ~[na:na]

        at play.PlayAssetsCompiler$$anonfun$JavascriptCompiler$3.apply(PlayAssetsCompiler.scala:96) ~[na:na]

        at play.PlayAssetsCompiler$$anonfun$JavascriptCompiler$3.apply(PlayAssetsCompiler.scala:96) ~[na:na]

        at play.PlayAssetsCompiler$$anonfun$AssetsCompiler$1$$anonfun$3.apply(PlayAssetsCompiler.scala:48) ~[na:na]

What I find strange, is, that certain examples may compile if I hit refresh a number of times... So, the compilation does not seem fully deterministic.

Did someone else experience the same issue and can shed some light on what is going on here?

Thanks & Best regards,

Martin

This happens with both Play 2.2.0 and 2.2.1

I'm still struggling with the same issue - has anybody else been experiencing the same issue or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?
