Unclear where/what the Java console is

[drtobybrown]

When the encountering an error in the scripting interface, the only information given is

Error encountered while executing snippet. See JavaScript console for details.

I'm not sure where or what the JavaScript console is but would it not be more helpful to have an ipython console + text / script editor (e.g., such as Jlab)?

Cheers

The JavaScript console is built into the browser. Are you using the electron app?

Are you using the code snippets feature in the 3.0 feature, or scripting via carta-python?

Hi, Toby

You should only be seeing that error if you're using the JavaScript snippet API through the frontend. This repository is for the Python scripting wrapper, a different interface which has some of the same functionality.

Could you please summarise what steps you followed when you saw that error? Have you seen the documentation for installing and using the wrapper?
