javascript documentation not found for some functions

[nielsswinkels]

For some javascript functions, for example while-loop, when you right click and select help it shows:

Oops We could not load the documentation, please check your internet connection.

Trying to open the help into a new tab will try to load the url https://pxt.microbit.org/reference//while which is missing. I think there were some more functions where this happens, but I haven't made a list of them.

The double // is suspicious.

The while only has documentation under the category /blocks/ in the docs, not under /reference/. This url works, but only describes it as a block: https://pxt.microbit.org/blocks/loops/while

@ganicke, can you look into this?

[ganicke]

Sure, I'll take a look.

[ganicke]

Are you talking about the context help from the block in the editor not opening the while topic?

With a quick check it seems to work both on https://pxt.microbit.org and in https://pxt.microbit.org/beta. Look at the capture here and see if I'm doing the repro correctly:

[nielsswinkels]

No I'm talking about doing this while in javascript text mode, not blocks. (btw what do you use to make these gifs?)

[ganicke]

Hi, I use ScreenToGif (get it at http://www.screentogif.com). Post your repro if you can. You frame the recorder over the area you want captured so you don't need to grab the entire window if you don't want to.

[ganicke]

Will look into this again when a repro is provided. Loop docs are rooted under /blocks as are conditionals and variables.

[nielsswinkels]

The problem is that it works for blocks but not for javascript
