Execution uglifyJs2 via Nashorn

Question

I extracted uglifyJs2 via uglifyjs --self and I'm trying to minify app.js using uglify.js. I expect, that minified js should be generated into new file or console at least but now it doesn't work. What should I do to minify app.js using uglify.min.js?

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    ScriptEngine scriptEngine = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("nashorn");
    Bindings bindings = new SimpleBindings();
    bindings.put("console", System.console());
    executeJs("uglifyjs.min.js",scriptEngine, bindings);
    String res = (String) invocable.invokeFunction("UglifyJS.parse(code)", code);
   //Here I got NoSuchMethodException: No such function UglifyJS.parse(code)
}

static String readFile(String path, Charset encoding)
        throws IOException
{
    byte[] encoded = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(path));
    return new String(encoded, encoding);
}

private static void executeJs(String fileName, ScriptEngine engine, Bindings bindings) throws Exception {
    String test = readFile(fileName, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
    engine.put(ScriptEngine.FILENAME, fileName);
    engine.eval(test, bindings);
}

invokeFunction can be used to invoke only global functions. It can not be used to evaluate arbitrary code like you've above. The following will work:

// define a global function that accepts one arg and invoke UglifyJS.parse on it
scriptEngine.eval("function func(code) { return UglifyJS.parse(code) }");

// call the newly defined global function "func"
invocable.invokeFunction("func", code);
