org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException: illegal character (/[filename].js#1) JSCover

Question

I am trying to run JSCover on Windows 7, I have placed files I want to test in ~\JSCover-0.2.0\doc\example
Two of my files are producing 500 (Internal Server Error) errors, while jquery jasmine and other libraries are loaded fine.

Error:

I have checked around and commonly proposed solution is to change encoding java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar JSCover-all.jar however result is not different in my case.
Am I running it on wrong .jar?

I am stopping running example-server.bat then running command then starting example-server.bat again after changing encoding.

UPDATE: I have checked and my System encoding is ISO-8859-1, but java -Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1 -jar JSCover-all.jar still does not produce any effect.
I have also tried specifying full path without any luck

C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\JSCover-0.2.0\target\dist>java -Dfile.encoding=
ISO-8859-1 -jar "C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\JSCover-0.2.0\target\dist\JSCo
ver-all.jar"

How do I check what encoding JSCover server is running on? to confirm if my change has taken effect.

Answer 1

This is not a proper solution but more of a temporary hack to workaround this problem:
What I did I opened files that give me 500 (Internal Server Error) in Notepadd++ and then changed encoding to 'Convert to UTF-8 without BOM'.
That allowed me to go past this problem, so technically it is a way to go around this, however I would like someone to propose a better solution.
