launching server finds js errors - cannot compile .js file

[Aner Ben-Artzi]

~/src/server1$ httpd-silk.js bootstrap.js

 *** Could not compile bootstrap.js

Could not compile js/hello.js

SyntaxError: Unexpected token -

How do I get the line number for the error?

Is there a way to do a sanity-check compile of the js without attempting to launch the server?

Thank,

Aner

Unfortunately, v8 doesn't give nice error handling for compilation.  It's the same in the browser where we see messages like:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token *

In the console in Chrome when your HTML has a <SCRIPT> that has a syntax error somewhere in it.

If you run:

silkjs script.js

It will load script.js, run it, then exit.  So you could detect errors that way.

You can also try/catch around require() and include() .

You can also run your code through jslint or jshint.
