compilation fails the second time

[jimhefferon]

I go to the github project page. I follow the link to the website. I compile. Works great-- you are great!

I compile again, with or without changing the input text. It never returns.

When I try it on my home machine I get an error that I do not understand pointing to the first line of the webworker.js file. Sorry; I don't know enough js to fix it myself.

Hi Jim,

thanks for your bug report! Yes, I can reproduce the bug. It occurs when the script doesn't create a new instance of pdflatex and texlive when it runs.

// this should NOT work:
var pdftex = new PDFTeX('./');
var texlive = new TeXLive(pdftex);
button.click(function() {
  texlive.compile(...);
}

// this should work:
button.click(function() {
  var pdftex = new PDFTeX('./');
  var texlive = new TeXLive(pdftex);
  texlive.compile(...);
}

when I find the time, I'll fix it in the demo!

Thanks so much.

I appreciate your work, a lot.

Jim
