Error using using global.JSON.stringify() in scoped application - 'Evaluator.evaluateString() problem: java.lang.ClassCastException:'

I am getting this error 'Evaluator.evaluateString() problem: java.lang.ClassCastException:' when using global.JSON.stringify() in a scoped application - Any ideas why?

In my opinion JSON.stringify should work for any valid Javascript object - Is this not the case?

I tried it on Helsinki with no issues. Helsinki uses ECMAScript5 by default and may be more resilient to this sort of thing. If you have upgraded to Helsinki, your app is likely still using ES3. You can change it on the app settings.

I tried your simple script in Geneva and it kept failing with a numeric object property name (1). As soon as I changed it to 'a', it worked fine. That's what leads me to believe this is an ES3 vs ES5 thing.

I'll get that raised!

I am unable to recreate it in my development environment (post Helsinki). I'll do some looking around and figure out what the real cause is.

Thanks,
