Rendering/export broken with version > 3.0

[stonebanks]

Hi,
I'm coming across some errors making the extension not usable since the version 3.0.0 (2.03 being the last working version )

this is a screen shot of what I have in the side panel or in the browser

and the following errors inside the chrome console:

My setup:

Thank reporting this.
I'm on it.

Can you try the version 3.3.1 ?
Look's like I got problem with font awesome but I don't know why :(

[stonebanks]

No, I just checked and I still have the exact same errors with 3.3.1 :(

[evilz]

Are you trying to put this on slideshare ?

[asalber]

I have the same problem.
The presentation renders perfectly from VScode even if you open it in a browser, but it doesn't work when you export it as static html.

[evilz]

@asalber My bad I forgot to mention a big breaking change. You need a web server cause now reveal js is using directly the markdown file. I mean it's an ajax request.

Use can use this chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb?hl=en or any web server.

[asalber]

I usually host my presentations on github and they worked perfectly until now, even using this chrome extension.
You can try this: https://github.com/asalber/manual-git
Thanks!

[evilz]

Thanks for the link I take a look 😅

I just had the same problem. Switching the markdown file from CRLF to LF fixed the problem for me.

[evilz]

@stonebanks, it should not be a problem by default. But since I'm now on Mac maybe I miss something.

@asalber I just publish a new version that increase timeout before stoping export can you try.
Thank

@distantcam Thanks for the hint. I had the same problem. After the update I had to change the lineendings in the markdown files from CR/LF to LF ( I am working under Windows). @evilz Is this a behaviour of reveal.js? I wonder, because before the update it rendered correctly with CR/LF.

[stonebanks]

@distantcam Thanks your workaround did the trick!

[distantcam]

Another solution is to add these custom separator values to the yaml frontmatter.

separator: '^\r?\n---\r?\n$'
verticalSeparator: '^\r?\n--\r?\n$'

Pretty sure the fix is to change the default values in Configuration.ts.

Also, I'd just like to take the opportunity to say I love this extension. It has allowed me to make a presentation for my usergroup 100% in VSCode.

@evilz I've tried to install the new version but I can not generate the vsix file to install it locally. I get the error:

I work with Linux (Kubuntu) and I have installed node version 10.15.1 and npm version 6.4.1.

The solution proposed by @distantcam does not work in my case.

[distantcam]

@asalber Try installing Typescript and try again

npm i -g typescript

[asalber]

Thanks @distantcam! Now I got the vsix for version 3.3.2, but the problem still continues 😞

[vbshift]

@distantcam Does your regex fix the problem ?

I need to and test for this :p

[ghirardinicola]

It was very useful to have a static html in order to distribute a dynamic version of the presentation.
Do you know if there is an alternative way to have that kind of feature without asking people to install a browser plugin?

[evilz]

Oki, thanks to tell me your needs 😊.
I will revert this behaviour to a real static HTML.

[ghirardinicola]

Thank you, really appreciate!

[drrui]

@distantcam it really works!
but there is some problems with the font size....all the words are too small...
how to solve it ？

[distantcam]

@drrui I don't know? I'm not the maintainer of this project. Please open another issue and provide more details like a screenshot, what system you're running, steps to reproduce. Thanks

[drrui]

@distantcam Sorry, thanks a lot for your help.

[ghirardinicola]

@evilz can you point me at where to look to change the export to static html please?

[evilz]

Hi, not sure to understand what you are looking for or what you want to do

[fuhrmanator]

In 3.4.0 I'm getting the same result as the OP (identical screenshot). If I start with a simple project, all the slides are combined on one page (the --- cause horizontal lines, everything is on one slide, etc.).

Edit: #127 (comment) solved the problem. Why is that not the default setting?
