Error annotation fails for missing define #649

Open marcoct opened 8 years ago

marcoct commented 8 years ago

I think this is probably one of the more common VentureScript syntax errors, and error annotation seems to fail for it:

venture[script] > a = 1;
Trying to annotate an exception led to:
Traceback (most recent call last):
