Error messages upon save of configuration

[brandondrew]

As soon as I open Phoenix or save the main phoenix.js config file, I get

Commenting out spaces-related configs does not solve it. In fact, the only way I have found to avoid the error message is to comment out everything except the top 2 require lines.

I have not been able to find the log files, so I have not been able to get any information from them about the nature of the problem. (There are no logs related to Phoenix in ~/Library/Logs or in ~/.config/phoenix, and I'm not sure where else to look.)

🤦‍♂️ D'oh! Console.log.... okay.... looking....

Okay, with the spaces-related stuff commented out, I get this:

1/19/18 12:36:16.788 PM Phoenix[287]: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'hashes' (4:8)

ag tells me that hashes is in magic/developer_tools.js. Opening it shows me:

/* DEVELOPER TOOLS */

let hashes = [];

Since let is more recent, I would expect Babel to be used as the processor for your config file, but I don't see any shebang line with babel in the main phoenix.js file (or in magic/developer_tools.js). Once I add the shebang line, and install babel globally, I get:

I also get that notification sometimes when I restart Phoenix, all the shortcuts work though, are they not working for you?

Phoenix's docs say:

Currently, the supported version of JavaScript is based on the ECMAScript 6 standard. macOS versions prior to Sierra (10.12) support ECMAScript 5.1.

So there shouldn't be any need for a transpilation step if you're running macOS >= v10.12. What version are you on?

Adding a #!/usr/bin/env babel shebang should work anyway, perhaps it should be added to every single file though, not just phoenix.js, I'm not sure.

Fixed.
