Scintilla is not working

[danielo515]

I just copy pasted the example that is on the wiki, hit F5 and got the following error:

---

Microsoft JScript runtime error

Exception thrown and not caught

line: 176, pos: 10

OK

I want to use scintilla to style text. If there is an easier way, I would love to know about it.

What example did you use?

I can get this error with following code

require("lib/Scintilla")

Try to print the error

try {
    require("lib/Scintilla")
} catch (err) {
    alert(err);
}

File does not exist: lib/User32.dll.js

It is a bug related to require system.

The require function will look file from:

1. Current working directory, which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++.
2. require.currentDir which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\jN at first. After requiring Scintilla, it becomes C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\jN\lib

So it just fails to require lib/User32.dll.js (C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\lib/User32.dll.js and C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugin\jN\lib\lib/User32.dll.js)

Try following code

require("lib/scintilla.js")

Still the same error

Please verify if recently updated files user32.dll.js, kernel32.dll.js, scintilla.js solve your problem
