Error not surfaced properly

See w3c/did-test-suite#34.

Seems like an issue with the web service tasked to build respec files. It’s probably temporary. Have you tried again? You can force a rerun by editing the content of the pull request (not the actual code, just the content on the GitHub side. Just adding a line break is enough.

Hi @tobie, thanks for the instructions. I edited the PR text just now. It appears that PR Preview ran again, but it gets the same error.

@deniak any idea what’s going on here?

This is an error coming from respec. @sidvishnoi, spec-generator is producing the following error while trying to process https://rawcdn.githack.com/spruceid/did-test-suite/7925112b59a2f92ee820d0afe03034e9f05af3c9/index.html?isPreview=true&publishDate=2021-03-09

Do you know if it's a bug in respec or a misconfiguration?

https://pagecdn.io/lib/ace/1.4.5/ace.js is clashing with ReSpec unfortunately. Both ReSpec and Ace expose a global require() function. ReSpec uses it to import the exporter (rsDocToDataURL).

Workaround: Use ace no-conflict, which exposes ace.require instead of a global require:

    <script src=https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/src-min-noconflict/ace.js"
      <!-- integrity obtained from: https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/src-min-noconflict/ace.js?meta -->
      integrity="sha384-hrjkfJF+wiarMlNc/Nqv8RItRca1TOp8FBggbKsUJfRaKgioqs8qgKw6PIPMIpMV"
      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

There's an open issue in ReSpec to avoid the global require (see https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/3089), can't give a timeline for it though.

Thanks folks. Closing.
