New TiddlyWiki builds : Backend: low test coverage + Frontend: JavaScript Error

[almereyda]

I was so happy almost having found a usable, flexible timeline editor.

Unfortunately I cannot get it to work. I tried

• drag and drop to a local install
• recursively cloning and running tiddlywiki from there

It always throws

Error executing boot module $:/plugins/emkay/visjs/graphwidget.js: TypeError: Cannot read property 'measure' of undefined

[almereyda]

@emkayonline Additionally, running tiddlywiki --server within the cloned directory doesn't run the plugin, as more than half of the tests fail.

Using tiddlywiki via sudo npm install -g tiddlywiki.

tiddlywiki --version
5.0.13-beta

It seems @Jermolene has done some refactorings so the version requirements in README.md of this repo are not correct.

I tried 5.0.13-beta, 5.0.14-prerelease and 5.0.8-beta it with the npm link method and only the last works.

[almereyda]

As of http://emkayonline.github.io/tw5visjs/ the tag v5.0.9-beta is also known to work.

[almereyda]

This issue can be considered as being in the queue now.

[almereyda]

It's being discussed now in [TW5] Getting the tw5visjs plugin to work again. on the TiddlyWikiDev list.

It's known to work up until 5.0.10beta now.
