Hi All

I am trying to use pluginBuilder-Plugin (https://qbroker.github.io/pluginBuilder/index.html) to help me create and edit a plugin. I have installed pluginBuilder-Plugin.js along with terser-Plugin.js, babel-Plugin.js, and ace-Plugin.js into an empty TWc 2.10.2. However, when I try to use the <pluginbuildermain> macro there is an error: "TypeError: I.data is not a function". Also, if I try to use aceEdit, only the regular editor appears. When trying to use aceEdit on a tiddler named [[temp]], in the console, there is an error "Uncaught Error: ace.edit can't find div #tempaceViewer".

I am using Firefox on Linux. I have also tried using hiveBroker and get the same results.

Can anyone suggest what I should do to get pluginBuilder and the Ace editor working?

Cheers

Hello Andrew,

The TWC behind the link does work, although the plugins are over two years old, if you download it, it works despite the older TWC core.
I will update the pluginBuilder before December as I made many changes to this plugin in the last two years.

Have a nice day, Okido

Thank you Okido. I have a working pluginBuilder setup now. I had to download a copy using Chromium because when I used Firefox, I got a message from TW saying the file had not been saved properly.

Cheers
