Uncaught Error: WebGL not supported, in Chrome

[jkleiser]

When I try the simple test from http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eternalcoding/archive/2013/06/27/babylon-js-a-complete-javascript-framework-for-building-3d-games-with-html-5-and-webgl.aspx (just the very basics, incl. the code at "The last thing you need to do is to register a render loop"), using Chrome v28.0.1500.95 on Mac, I get "Uncaught Error: WebGL not supported". No image gets rendered. I'm using babylon.1.1.0.js.

Could you try with Firefox? Some browsers have a black list for specific drivers and can block webGl in this case :(

Hi,

Same problem with Firefox 23.0 on Mac, and also with Safari 5.1.9.
(Both of these handles the WebGL in
http://learningwebgl.com/lessons/lesson05/index.html without problems.)

I'd love to see Babylon.js working on Mac. ;-)

It works on several Mac I tested :(
Could it be linked to an old video driver?

You can have a look at my code here and see if I've missed something:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48186945/web/webgl/test.html

I get the same "Uncaught Error: WebGL not supported" in the log of
Chrome (28.0.1500.95 m) on Windows.

Hi,

I looked at your code, and the problem comes from the loading of your JS code: you are trying to get the canvas whereas the page is not loaded yet.
Try to copy paste your Babylon JS code after < /body>, it should work ;)

If you want to learn more, you can try our tutorials: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/wiki/Tutorials

Thx,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,

You're absolutely right. Thanks a lot! It now works fine in all my browsers.
