Can't call my JS macro

[Shareda]

Hello! What is wrong? I don't understand how to find out this and debug.

1. I created my macros tiddler;
2.  Added   $:/tags/Macro  tag;

3. Try to use these ways. It results just nothing.

  3.a. <<validateregexp "this||or that|">>

  3.b. <$macrocall $name="validateregexp" text="Text to be made into italics"/>

4. checked <<dumpvariables>>. There is no my macros...

Here is my macro exportred:

module-type: macro

tags: $:/tags/Macro

title: $:/hyperbook/validateregexp.js

type: application/javascript

/*\

title: $:/hyperbook/validateregexp.js

type: application/javascript

module-type: macro

Macro to return a clean regexp that does not hang-up the whole wiki and does not get out-of-memory 

\*/

(function(){

/*jslint node: true, browser: true */

/*global $tw: false */

"use strict";

/*

Information about this macro

*/

exports.name = "validateregexp";

exports.params = [

    {name: "regexp"}];

/*

Run the macro

*/

exports.run = function(regexp) {    

    regexp= str(regexp).replace(/([\|\\\{\}]){2,}/g, "$1");

    regexp= str(regexp).replace(/^([\|]){1,}/g, "");

    regexp= str(regexp).replace(/([\|]){1,}$/g, "");

    return regexp;

    // if(!baseName) {

// baseName = $tw.language.getString("DefaultNewTiddlerTitle");

// }

// return this.wiki.generateNewTitle(baseName, options);

};

})();

Hi,

first question since it is a javascript macro: Have you reloaded your wiki after saving/importing the macro? Unlike wiki text macros javascript macros only get loaded in when the wiki itself is loaded.

The reason I am asking is because when I try to call your plugin after a reload it gives me a very clear error message of what is wrong: str is not defined.

Seeing how the input is already a string converting it to one - which I assume is what you wish to do - is not necessary. So if you just remove str() around each regexp you should be able to call your macro without problems.

Also as an aside: Javascript macros are global by default and don't need to be tagged with $:/tags/Macro.

Hope this helps.

Felicia, Yes, I've reloaded wiki after saving/importing the macro. But there was no error message or I just don't know where(?) to look for it. Anyway, I removed str(), and macros is ok now! So thank you! I did not know about that error! Now I remove $:/tags/Macro..

Hi,

strange then. Here is what I get when I try to save a tiddler that calls your macro - before removing str() - right in the middle of the screen:

But as long as it works now just a strange occurrence, glad that I could help.
