Electron Instance only shows a textarea

jasuperior opened this issue 7 years ago · 6 comments

When I do npm start from the src directory. It starts an electron instance which only displays a textarea which I does nothing when I type text into it. I've tried typing name then pressing enter or tab but all it does is the default behavior.

When i pull up the dev tools, this is the error i receive:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ) mesh.js: 173

I figured out what the problem was. There as a trailing comma in:

code_editor.setSelection( {line: start.line - 1, ch: start.column}, {line: end.line - 1, ch: end.column}, );

Dont know why that would present a problem tho

Hmm, it sounds something like ES6 syntax that's not supported in older versions of Node. Maybe try updating to the latest LTS version?

hmmm... @chrispsn you may be right. I updated my node, and all is well in the world.

Its just strange, I've never had a problem with trailing commas before. Hasnt it been standard in javascript since like es3?

I'm pretty new to JS so am not sure - but have updated the README to clarify you need the latest LTS version of node.

Thanks for trying out Mesh! Do you have any other feedback?

Well as far as feedback. I'd say It would be cooler if the spreadsheet was already setup, i.e. excel with all the cells already laid out. Allowing me to place information into arbitrary cells and it compiling the code from a top down left-to-right fashion.

Also, if it didnt include the mesh code in the compiled code, that would be awesome as well. The mesh code is only useful within the mesh environment, it doesnt really have any purpose if I wanted to use the compiled code for anything else though.
