TiddlyDesktop Linux64-v0.0.8 Internal Java error

[kelsang sherab]

I get this error repeatedly
What do I need to do???

Internal JavaScript Error

Well, this is embarrassing. It is recommended that you restart TiddlyWiki by refreshing your browser

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null

close

Well, the first thing you need to do is give more information. This is most likely caused by either a plugin you are using or some customisations you made to your wiki. Does it happen when you open your wiki? Or does it happen when you do something specific? What plugins do you have installed? Have you created any custom javascript widgets or macros in your wiki?

Hi ,
Thanks for coming back to me.

The error

 'Uncaught TypeError:Cannot read property 'length' of null'

pops up when I put the cursor in the place of the actual body of writing the tiddlers.
When I put the sign ' < ' the error pops up.

I did not do any actual customization to the TD.

My plugins are the following:

[[$:/plugins/telmiger/Clipboard]]

[[$:/plugins/telmiger/details]]

[[$:/plugins/telmiger/EditorCounter]]

[[$:/plugins/telmiger/listreveal]]

[[$:/plugins/telmiger/todonow]]

and obviously the TW5 core

hopefully this is the info you need.

I think that it is a problem in the EditorCounter plugin. It is based on some things I made and it is possible that the parsing is getting confused by the < character. And the initial error seems to be caused by an oversight on my part, the basic widget isn't checking to make sure that there is a text field before checking its length. I will try to fix the widget later but the EditorCounter plugin will also need to be updated and I don't have access to that.

Thanks Jed.
Can I just disable a plugin?
How?
Or do I need to delete it?
How?
Cheers

You can disable it by clicking on the gear, going to the plugins tab, clicking the arrow to the left of the plugin, and that should reveal a disable button.

Hi

Sorry to hear that my plugin causes you trouble!

You can disable the word counter in the settings of the EditorCounter plugin.

(Or you can start your text with another character, I think the word counter dislikes [ and < …

I think I fixed the problem Jed mentioned, for character counting. But the word counter still has a bug.

Glad to see that you want to try so many things I made!

Good luck
Thomas
