undefined error when loading script about scripts HOT 26 CLOSED

First please update to the latest version of QOwnNotes, then remove the script and install it again.

from scripts.

Sorry - I thought I had updated, but it seems the old version was still in memory.
I updated to version 18.09.1 and reinstalled the script. However, the issue persists.

from scripts.

Then it's best to post that issue on https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/issues and mention the authors of the script.

from scripts.

That's the line of the script: https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/blob/master/markdown-it/markdown-it.qml#L59

from scripts.

Hi, thx for the comments. I originally missed that this issue list is for all scripts - I updated the issue and included @MilanRusev, who I assume is the author.

from scripts.

Then it's best to post that issue on https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/issues

oh, sorry. we already are on https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/issues :D

from scripts.

btw. can you please execute ls -hal /home/fschoenh/.local/share/PBE/QOwnNotes/scripts/markdown-it/ and post the result.

I tried debugging this myself despite my very limited Javascript expertise.

• The .js file seems to be loaded - renaming it results in a different error
• MarkdownIt.markdownit is undefined for some reason, so the most likely culprit is the rather complex exports definition in the first line of the file

from scripts.

It's really strange, it works flawlessly for me...

You could try downloading https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/dist/markdown-it.js directly...

from scripts.

I'll try that, thx for the support.

from scripts.

I found the issue. For some reason, on my system the imported script needs be referred to as 'this' instead of 'MarkdownIt'. I changed Line 59 to:

md = new this.markdownit(optionsObj);

... and now it works. I fear I know QML even less than I do know JavaScript - is there any explanation for this behavior?

from scripts.

so your system ignores the MarkdownIt part of import "markdown-it.js" as MarkdownIt, very strange

from scripts.

but according to https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-syntax-imports.html the as should work

from scripts.

also in Qt 5.5 and 5.6: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.5/qtqml-syntax-imports.html

from scripts.

Do you use stock Ubuntu or some derivative distribution? Because you are using Qt 5.6.1 instead of the stock 5.5.1 of Ubuntu 16.04.

from scripts.

I have a Kubuntu 16.04

from scripts.

Interesting, I didn't know that the Qt version was getting updated by Kubuntu... or do you use a special repository for Qt?

from scripts.

I think I'm using the stock Kubuntu KDE, but this is a three years old dev system, so I might have added some PPAs I'm not aware of anymore.

Xenial is still at 5.5.1: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial&searchon=names&keywords=qt

what does dpkg -s libqt5core5a say for you?

xenialoverlay1, seems like an Ubuntu maintained overlay for Kubuntu...

In any case, I guess we can close that issue now. It "should" work on all systems according to the Qt documentation... :)

Yes, thx for the support :-)

Hehe, good you found a solution yourself. ;)
