My bare bones HTML5 project

Beta Testing HTML5
1

I have an app that I need to port, but I was having problems, so I tried to make a bare bones HTML5 project. I have attached it as a zip file. However even this bare bones project does not work for me. So I feel I must be doing something very basic wrong. But I just don’t know what.

The project contains only a build.settings main.lua.

build.settings:

settings = { orientation = { default = "portrait", supported = { "portrait", }, }, }

main.lua:

display.newCircle(display.actualContentWidth\*0.5,display.actualContentHeight\*0.5,50)

This draws a white circle in the center of the screen. That is all.

I build HTML5 with both options unchecked (I also tried with Include Standard Resources check, makes no difference), the error I get is:

exception thrown: TypeError: cannot read property ‘length’ of null

Followed by several other errors. See attached.

I can see this is working for loads of other people, so what am I doing wrong?

What browser are you using?

Are you on Windows or a Mac?

What version of Corona are you using?

I ran your sample in Chrome using 2019.3519 and it worked as expected.

I’m sorry guy… was using “Brave” browser… Shortly after I posted this, I found that by turning off “shields” everything worked.

I wanted to delete my post, but it was held in some kind of queue, so I could not see it.

Perhaps if someone has exactly the same error, this can help them.

Also I found that “npm” server cannot work with the “blob” loads from x.bin and x.data stuff that the generated index.html needs to do… however 

python3 -m http.server

 works fine.
