`require` doesn't work in REPL #45

Closed hjek closed 8 years ago

hjek commented 8 years ago

require doesn't work in the REPL:

> (require "./whatever.js")
evalmachine.<anonymous>:1
require('./whatever.js');
^
ReferenceError: require is not defined

However the binding macro example (which is using require) in How eslisp macros work (a tutorial) works fine in the REPL. (jisp already has require in the REPL, but it doesn't have quoting and other important stuff)

Thanks for reporting.

I'd forgotten to set the useGlobal-option to repl.start, so all code entered into the REPL ran with a global object that didn't have the Node-specific globals (e.g. require) bound.

This should be fixed in 0.7.4.

Thanks a lot for fixing so quickly. Really nice finally trying a JS lisp that has proper quasiquoting!
