Hi Taritsyn,

I am getting below exception, intermittently on Windows Server 2008R2.
not able to reproduce this exception on my local windows 7.
can you please provide some more info on the reason for this issue.

Hello, Ramesh!

What version of Internet Explorer installed on the server?

Answer 2 · 2016-03-30T05:59:57.000Z

Hi Taritsyn,

IE8 is installed on the server.
Also the "Bundle Transformer" Version 1.8.33 and "Msie JavaScript Engine" version 1.4.3.0 is being used.

Answer 3 · 2016-03-30T07:52:36.000Z

Quote from description of the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Msie package:

For correct working of the MSIE JavaScript Engine it is recommended to install Internet Explorer 9 and above on a server.

You have 2 variants to solve this problem:

Install Internet Explorer 9 or above on server.
Use a JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8 package (requires the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio) instead of the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Msie package.

Answer 4 · 2016-03-30T07:57:45.000Z

Is there any specific reason why IE8 misbehaves ?
As it seems its a Win32 Exception in MsieJavaScriptEngine with message "The requested lookup key was was not found in any active activation context."

does this error message points to any specific set of problem ?

Answer 5 · 2016-03-30T08:13:50.000Z

What version of MsieJavaScriptEngine you use?
Which mode of MsieJavaScriptEngine you use (Auto, Classic, ChakraActiveScript, ChakraIeJsRt и ChakraEdgeJsRt)?

In any case, BundleTransformer.Less will not work without a Internet Explorer 9 or above (an “Out of stack space” error will occur).

Answer 6 · 2016-03-30T08:25:17.000Z

MsieJavaScriptEngine version 1.4.3.0 is being used
Auto mode is being used.

Will this error "Out of stack space" always occur, or it will occur intermittently ?

Answer 7 · 2016-03-30T08:26:40.000Z

... "Msie JavaScript Engine" version 1.4.3.0 is being used.

This version is already 2 years. Many bugs have been fixed for 2 years.

Update a libraries to modern versions.

Answer 8 · 2016-03-30T08:32:26.000Z

Actually these libraries are being used in older version of my company's product, and one of the customer is facing this issue intermittently.

Anyhow, i will try to get these libraries updated.

i was just curious to figure out the exception, why its happening, in case not able to update the libraries

Answer 9 · 2016-03-30T08:34:02.000Z

Will this error "Out of stack space" always occur, or it will occur intermittently ?

This error will occur when executing a large amount of JS code, i.e. most part of the Bundle Transformer modules will cause this error.

Answer 10 · 2016-03-30T08:45:38.000Z

I will get IE8 upgraded, and will get that tested.

Thank you Taritsyn

Answer 11 · 2016-03-30T08:46:12.000Z

i was just curious to figure out the exception, why its happening...

It's hard for me answer this question, because you are using an old version of library with old version of Internet Explorer. I know only one thing, that you do not complied recommendation specified in description of package.
