JavaScript compilation failed

[Siddardha G]

Hi,

I'm trying to build BITE on my Mac. I've cloned the repo and tried running ./build.py. All the tools and dependencies got downloaded successfully. When it tries to compile the JavaScript files, there is some error.

----ERROR----

Can you help me out with this? Is this some error with the closure-compiler?

Thanks!

Hi Siddardha,

Yes, it is closure compiler error complaining about the casting of a number to string.  I will take a look today and try to fix it.

Thanks,

Jason

I updated dependencies.  If you could remove the clone then clone it again it should work.  Please let me know if it doesn't work for you.  I am going to publish a message to the group about the changes I made.  You can view that one shortly for details of my changes.  Please note the download will be much bigger now.
