Broken server JS library - "Error while parsing JavaScript code"

hcl-bot · February 10, 2009, 4:12pm

One of my server javascript libraries, which was working yesterday, is now broken and I can’t see the problem.

Earlier today, I commented out a global variable and made minor changes to two functions. Now, every time I load an XPage that uses this library I get the error message:

Error while executing JavaScript computed expression

Error while reading library ‘/ISWXPageLib.jss’

Error while parsing JavaScript code

The error message is followed immediately by the stack trace. No information is given about a specific line of my code causing the error.

I’ve inspected my code a few times and can’t see any problems. It appears to be correct syntax, so I have no idea why the error is occurring. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

The full stack trace is as follows:

Subject: Let’s see your database

I’m interested seeing what’s wrong with your database, so it would be great if you can send us a copyOn the other hand, what happens if you delete the library and recreate it with the same code. Does that solve the issue?

Subject: Can’t follow up now…

I haven’t tried just copying the code into a new library.

I actually had to revert my changes yesterday, in order to get it working for my boss to do a demo.

Simply changing the modified code back to what it was three days ago, in the same library, made the error go away. Because of this, I’m pretty sure it must be something in the way the code was formatted, but I now don’t have time to investigate further because I have a deadline on some other work.
