  When generating a part for Javascript, if the logic contains
  a while statement, whose condition contains multiple checks
  (uses ?? or ||), and invokes a function, the generated while
  statement is incorrect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is in the code that simplifies complex
  conditions. JavaScript generation cannot handle complex
  conditions (with ?? or ||) that contain function invocations
  correctly. Because of this, the conditions are broken apart
  into a series of IF statements. In the case of a condition
  on a while statement, this processing was incorrect. The
  code has been corrected so the while statement will now be
  generated correctly.
