| There is a javascript console, called JSC, in: | |
| /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/jsc | |
| JSC is not in the shell PATH by default, to fix that: | |
| $ sudo ln /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/jsc /usr/local/bin | |
| Note that you'll have to use debug() instead of the conventional console.log() in your script to see any output. |
I found it on my system (macOS 10.15.4) here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Helpers/jsc
(so, "Helpers/" instead of "Resources/")
and the ln command requires the -s option and the symlink name, so:
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Helpers/jsc /usr/local/bin/jsc
ln: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/jsc: No such file or directory
getting this error
JavaScript is not built-in Mac OS by default?
