Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getAttribute("name")')

[gimli2]

When switched story format to the Primitive 0.2, the story cannot be tested/played. In the dev tools console you can see:

Book:194 Uncaught 
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getAttribute')
    at Book.html:194:19241

which points to the last line of this part of story JS:

let _truepassagenames = function(text) {
                            let passages = text.split(" --\x3e ");
                            return passages = passages.join("\n"),
                            passages = passages.split("\n"),
                            passages.shift(),
                            [...new Set(passages)]
                        }(function(psg) {
                            let connections = []
                              , scanned = [psg.getAttribute("name")]

What could be configured improperly?

using:

• Twine 2.9.1 on linux
• Primitive-StoryFormat v 0.2.0

The tag "start" was added to the first passage.

Looks like, according to that error, the Parser didn't add your start passage to its list of passages.

There's a few things that could be an issue.

• The start tag parser code isn't working in Parser, which of course makes the README a liar.
• Primitive has an incompatibility with Twine 2.9.x, which I would need to look further into.
• Primitive has an incompatibility with Linux, which I don't even test on.

Would you be willing to share your Story code, if you still have it, so I can look into this more? Additionally, have you tried compiling the included test story?

PS. Sorry for the late reply, you can always find me faster at the Twine Discord. I'm currently in intensive training, so I won't be keeping a tab on peripherals like GitHub for another few months.
