Nginx doesn't compress jscript - apache

Question

I am migrating from the apache web server and have problems with nginx jscript compression (css compression works fine). This is my config file:
#user nginx;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
#error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log info;
#pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
#keepalive_timeout 0;
keepalive_timeout 65;
#tcp_nodelay on;
tcp_nodelay on;
gzip on;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_min_length 10;
#gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 7;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/javascript text/xml application/xhtml+xml application/xml;
#gzip_min_length 1100;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
server_tokens off;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
When I check different file compression using online check tools, jscript files are not compressed at all. css and text files are OK.
What am I missing here?
Thanks
UPDATE: Having spent 5 hours in debugging this simple thing I've found the problem:
after changing the nginx configuration files reloading nginx (/etc/init.d/nginx reload) is not enough - the nginx services on Plesk panel should be restarted (off/on). Otherwise, the changes will not be applied.

try adding
application/javascript
to gzip_types
