Errors in Default Phaser Project

John_G_10 — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 00:50:17 GMT

Hi Everyone

I really hope I can get some help on this.

I am now joining the forum, and have now started using intel XDK, to create a Phaser project. However, the default project created by XDK, has some errors. It doesn't prevent the app from running (I can see a rotating bear on the screen), but I would like to be able to correct those errors, not only because they may cause / may be causing problems, but also because I want to learn and understand what's going on in my project. Here are the errors:

10 JSHint Problems

Line Problem Code snippet
4 'document' is not defined. (W117) document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function()
7 'PIXI' is not defined. (W117) var stage = new PIXI.Stage(0x66FF99);
10 'screen' is not defined. (W117) var width = screen.availWidth;
11 'screen' is not defined. (W117) var height = screen.availHeight;
12 'PIXI' is not defined. (W117) var renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(width, height);
15 'document' is not defined. (W117) document.body.appendChild(renderer.view);
17 'requestAnimFrame' is not defined. (W117) requestAnimFrame(animate);
20 'PIXI' is not defined. (W117) var texture = PIXI.Texture.fromImage("asset/phaser.png");
23 'PIXI' is not defined. (W117) var phaserImage = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
37 'requestAnimFrame' is not defined. (W117) requestAnimFrame(animate);

21 'BasicGame' is not defined. (W117) BasicGame = {
26 'BasicGame' is not defined. (W117) BasicGame.Game = function (game)
32 'BasicGame' is not defined. (W117) BasicGame.Game.prototype =
49 'Phaser' is not defined. (W117) this.scale.scaleMode = Phaser.ScaleManager.SHOW_ALL;

The codes are just the default. If you would like me to post the codes I can do so.
I appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks

See StackOverflow (xmnboy):: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25634565/intelxdk-is-generating-errors-on-simple-javascript-code

What you're seeing are jshint errors generated by the linter in the Brackets editor that's built into the XDK.

You can configure the jshint errors you get either by using a jshint resource file or by putting the jshint directives directly in your code (at the top of the page). Here's what I usually start out with to keep the list down to a manageable set of errors:

/*jslint browser:true, devel:true, white:true, vars:true */
/*global $:false, intel:false, document:false */

And see www.jshint.com/docs and www.jslinterrors.com for some documentation regarding these directives.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Those links led me to some useful tools also.

I'm not sure if it is

I'm not sure if it is entirely related to John G's original post but I was told to try updating the Phaser libraries included in XDK, because they are old.

I haven't been able to figure out how that is done, whether it is applicable to older programs and samples included in XDK or can only apply to new code.

Has anyone created or found a solid workflow of step by step procedures for going about the updating of Phaser and other libraries in XDK?

Thanks to Ad as well, I will be following up on that link's content further to see if it helps some of my students.

I'm also investigating this info on updates here: Though it doesn't fill me with confidence that this will solve my out of date code base issues.

Look inside your project, if

Look inside your project, if you started with a template or demo, the phaser library files are probably located here:

<project-dir>/www/lib/phaser

You can look inside the phaser.min.js file to see what version of the library you have in your app.

You can download the latest copy of the files from here: http://phaser.io/download/stable

I'm not a Phaser expert, but I'm guessing you need to at least update this file: https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/releases/download/v2.4.3/phaser.min.js from the Phaser site.

We are resolving the jshint

We are resolving the jshint errors in game projects in future releases of XDK. So hopefully this should avoid any further confusion.
