When i want to start njs CLI with QuickJS engine, it fails to start:

    njs -n QuickJS
    JS_NewContext() failed
    njs_engine_qjs_init() failed
    njs_create_engine() failed

Without this option, njs runs with native engine::

    njs
    interactive njs (njs:1.0.0)

    >> njs.engine
    'njs'

The docs for njs module [1] has note, that from version 1.0.0, the njs
engine is deprecated, but i cannot test scripts in CLI with new engine,
thus i set severity to grave.

regards

You're right, it's even worse, the package currently FTBFS,
as several -dev packages are missing during  build.

I'm currently trying to fix this.

libnginx-mod-js, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.
