TypeError: Cannot read property 'token' of null

Hi there! I found your project on twitter and was very interested to try it out. So I tried it out locally. This is my (very basic) editor (index.html)

<script src="https://unpkg.com/handel-pl"></script>
<textarea id=music style="width:100%;height:50%">
start
	chunk example using somePlayable 
		play somePlayable 
		rest for 1b
	endchunk
	save myPlayable = Eb3 for 1b
	run example using myPlayable with sound piano, loop for 5 
finish
</textarea>
<script>
function play(){
	console.log(music.value)
	Handel.RunHandel(music.value);
}
</script>
<button onclick="play()">Play</button>

Now I get similar errors as on the online editor, so there’s something wrong here? would be nice if the error reporting was bit more specific what is wrong.

Thanks for looking into this! 🎉 It indeed works now.

Lastly, you mentioned more verbose errors. The errors you mentioned were Lexer errors or errors involving invalid characters – version (0.5.2) now adds clearer messaging for those errors (they were missing line numbers as well like you mentioned). So an invalid program like this:

start
*
finish

Would now produce an error like this: error analyzing input at line: 2; invalid character: *
