Local Scope and Functions issue with commented code.

See original GitHub issue

Challenge Local Scope and Functions has an issue. User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0. Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:


function myLocalScope(myVar) {
  myVar = 5; 
  
  console.log(myVar);
} 
//var myVar = 300;  
// LINE 7 IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.. IF I COMMENT  IT, I SUCCESFUL FINISH THE CHALLENGE.. BUT IF I DELETE LINE 7, IT DOESN'T WORK... and if I UnComment it, so it doesn't work too.. That's a bug
myLocalScope();

// Run and check the console
// myVar is not defined outside of myLocalScope

// Now remove the console log line to pass the test

@systimotic Great detective work here, and thanks for resurrecting this old (but unresolved) issue.

Yes - I agree with your potential solution. Could you create a PR for this?

Regarding removing commented code before processing, this sounds like it would be a good long-term solution for this kind of situation, but would involve changes to the platform itself. So I’ll CC @BerkeleyTrue on this.

I’m closing this issue as stale since it hasn’t been active lately. If you think this is still relevant to the newly updated platform, please explain why, then reopen it.
