✔ Web REPL not working · beginners

Stream: beginners

In the Web REPL (https://www.roc-lang.org/repl), when pressing Enter to submit code, a new line is created instead of the code being run

yeah, weird. @Richard Feldman I see this JS error in the console

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /^["][^\\]+\\$(name\)/i: Unterminated group (at site.js:46:37)

I guess the $ also needs to be escaped there?

yep, that would explain it!

just needs to be \$

I'm on mobile but if anyone can make a quick PR for that, I can approve it

I don't think that actually fixes the issue

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /^["][^\\]+\\\$(name\)/i: Unterminated group (at site.js:46:37)

oh it also needs one before the (

/^["][^\\]+\\\$$name$/i

Actually I think it should be something like /^"[^\$]+\$$name$/i, otherwise it will try to match a backslash followed by a dollar sign

yeah I think you're right @John River! :thumbs_up:

want to make a PR for that?

I'm on mobile so only later today

Anyone feel free to make the change in the meantime :smile:

I'm also on mobile haha, sounds good!

I totally forgot :melting_face:
Thanks @Anton

The repl is fixed now :)

Anton has marked this topic as resolved.
