Using EJS without NodeJS

I figured that the latest build release would allow me to use ejs globally without using node so I tried doing so.
Though, when I try to use ejs.renderFile(params...), i get the error:
TypeError: exports.fileLoader is not a function
Which is just another node module. Is there a way to get around this?
Note: This is the only time we use EJS at my company, so, if not, would you kindly point me in a good direction in how to render .ejs files.

Update: You can create an EJS object by running
new EJS({url: some/url/to/file.ejs}).render({dataToPass: data, moreData: secondData});

yet another way you can use render instead of renderFile, and your ejs file can be get as string:
// here using jQuery
$.get(you_ejs_file_path).then(function (str, status, xhr) {
const html = ejs.render(str, your_data)); // str is ejs file
});

How to fix "error code=mustpostparams" on mediawiki-api in Java

I'm working on a project which use the mediawiki API and I have this error :
error code=mustpostparams
info:'The following parameters were found in the query string, but must be in the POST body: lgpassword, lgtoken.'
This is my code :
Mediawiki wiki=new Mediawiki(site);
Login login=wiki.login(login,password); //error
wiki.edit(title, content , summary);
wiki.logout();
To login to my mediawiki I use login action but I think I can use query action.
In the documentation : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tokens I found :
PARAMS = {
'action':"query",
'meta':"tokens",
'type':"login",
'format':"json"
}
I think it's exactly what I need but it's in python and I don't know how to do this in Java. I know that there is a function getQueryResult() but I don't know how to use it.
How to do the query action in Java ?
Thanks

Like this post, both are related :
I just add
Mediawiki wiki=new Mediawiki(site);
wiki.setVersion("Mediawiki 1.28"); //New
Login login=wiki.login(login,password);
And don't forget to use a bot ! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login

How to call a javascript function with a browser in Java?

I have implemented a simple browser in java which load a html page(I wrote it), I want to call my javascript function, in my java my class!
I try the following code, but it didn't execute the script!
browser.execute("<script type='text/javascript'> "
+"loadMap("+lat+","+lng+");"
+" </script>");

Try
browser.execute("loadMap("+lat+","+lng+");");
You don't need to create a script tag to execute the script. Just execute the actual JavaScript code. Refer to this sample.

js function containing php executes when not called

I have the following code within the tag of my page:
<script>
function LogInOut()
{
// Get the current login status
alert("executing LogInOut");
$loginStatus = "<?php echo $_SESSION['login']; ?>";
if ($loginStatus == "true")
{
<?php
echo "<br />script function";
$_SESSION['login'] = "false";
session_destroy();
?>
document.getElementById("loginState").innerHTML = "login";
}
else
{
window.location = 'login.php';
}
}
</script>
I find that the php code executes when the page loads. The function (for debugging) is NEVER called yet the php code executes while none of the rest of the script executes! Can anyone clarify why this could be happening?
thank you,

Classic case of mixing Javascript, a client side language, with PHP, a server side language. They run at two different locations and that being said this will never be possible.
PHP runs before javascript and if your trying to mix it with javascript, use it to echo dynamic data. eg:
var logged_in = <?=($_SESSION['login'] ? 'true' : 'false')?> ;
Javascript runs within the browser and after PHP, do not use php code thinking it will run inside of the browser

You will need something to call the function
In your case, call it when page is ready.
$(document).ready(function(){
LogInOut();
});
Or using a console for modern browser type in:
LogInOut();

mixing javascript with java

basically my problem is when I want to mix javascript with java code since I did not take the variable (var nombreRodamiento javascript) when I put the "<%" to start putting java code.
please note the bold line, which is what the compiler does not like.
<script type="text/javaScript">
function moveToRightOrLeft(side) {
var listLeft = document.getElementById('selectLeft');
var listRight = document.getElementById('selectRight');
if (side == 1) {//izquierda
if (listLeft.options.length == 0) {
alert('Ya aprobaste todos los items');
return false;
} else {
var rodamientoElegido = listLeft.options.selectedIndex;
var nombreRodamiento = listLeft.options[rodamientoElegido].text;
move(listRight, listLeft.options[rodamientoElegido].value,
listLeft.options[rodamientoElegido].text);
listLeft.remove(rodamientoElegido);
<%
**String nombreRodamiento = '%> nombreRodamiento;<%'**
for (int i=0;i<listaItems.size();i++){
if (listaItems.get(i).equals(nombreRodamiento))
listaItems.remove(i);
}
%>
if (listLeft.options.length > 0) {
listLeft.options[0].selected = true;
}
}
}
}
</script>

Assuming that this is all inside of a JSP. The java code (scriptlet, everything inside the <% %> tags) will execute server side, and the javascript will execute client side (in the user's browser). Yet you seem to be assigning a java variable the value of a javascript variable, nombreRodamiento. That is not going to work. The javascript is just text, with no values, execution context, etc, whenever the scriplet is being evaluated.

Java strings require double quotes, and you're missing a semicolon, which Java will not automatically insert.

Assuming this is a part of jsp file java code and js code executes separately. first java code get execute on server side and then the javascript code and that is on client side. Infact the java scriplet in jsp renderes the js code to be executed later on client which in this case is a browser.
Hence one cannot assign javascript variable value to a java variable but the reverse is possible.T
Edit:
I can give you the steps as I dont know your server side implementation.
render the page. You must be rendering the list by some type of array or equivaletn object on server side. save both right and left side element on session.
when the list box do some element exchange. exucute your js code.
you have to update the same on server side so send the selected element index and side information to server side using ajax.
update the server side list objects in the session accordingly. Update db if needed.
From next time render this list box suing this objects on ths server side sessions.
Hope this helps.
