CodeMirror-Mode-TiddlyWiki5 produces javascript error

#1

I am running my TW on node.js. I have installed codemirror plugin by adding the corresponding entry to my tiddlywiki.info file. Then I added CodeMirror-Mode-TiddlyWiki5 I downloaded the .json file and imported it in the wiki.

Now when I edit a tiddler, I get the following error:

Internal JavaScript Error

Well, this is embarrassing. It is recommended that you restart TiddlyWiki by refreshing your browser
TypeError: e.showHint is not a function. (In 'e.showHint(i)', 'e.showHint' is undefined)

How do I set this right?

I don’t know if its your problem but in the past this occurred for me with a codeMirror HTML related plugin. remove it and try and repeat. If that was the cause lets request a fix.

@TW_Tones Thanks. But removing and repeating it produced the same error. Does the plugin expect presence or absence of some other plugin?

#4

When installing it should install more than one plugin as a package.

That was just a guess, otherwise I know not why, sorry.

The README has all the details https://github.com/Gk0Wk/CodeMirror-Mode-TiddlyWiki5/blob/main/README_en.md:

First install the latest version of CodeMirror main plugin and CodeMirror Autocomplete sub-plugin (otherwise it will report an error).

Go directly to Release and download CodeMirrorModeTiddlyWiki5-X.X.X.json, then drag and drop it into your TiddlyWiki, or import it in TiddlyWiki.

@boris Thanks. The codemirror-autocomplete was missing. I have added it. And all is well now.
