"'global' is undefined" running prettydiff.js from node.js commandline in Windows #381
Description
Activity
OK, I got it. This comment, in prettydiff.js, is misleading:
Execute on command line with NodeJS: prettydiff source:"c:\mydirectory\myfile.js" readmethod:"file" diff:"c:\myotherfile.js"It probably should be this (at least for Windows):
Execute on command line with NodeJS: node node-local.js source:"c:\mydirectory\myfile.js" readmethod:"file" diff:"c:\myotherfile.js"Thanks for letting me know. I will refine the documentation to be more clear.
I will push updated documentation to branch 2.1.15 later today. In the mean time you can make the global installation an easy reality by installing Pretty Diff with biddle and then making it global:
biddle install http://prettydiff.com/downloads/prettydiff/prettydiff_latest.zip biddle global prettydiffI will publish this mega-massive update this weekend, which will also include official support with biddle in production and closing of #291
I'm no javascript developer and I'm just looking for a commandline XML beautifier, and this looked promising. I downloaded the project (complete with all of the libraries), found and installed node.js, read the documentation and examples, and tried the following syntax:
prettydiff source:"samples.xhtml" mode:"beautify"from within the directory containing prettydiff.js
I'm getting a Windows Script Host error popup that states,
Script: C:...\prettydiff.js
Line: 90
Char: 5
Error: 'global is undefined'
Code: 800A1391
Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error.
Sure enough, looking at prettydiff.js, I don't see where global is defined. Am I supposed to be defining it somewhere?
Thanks,
Rebeccah
