Technical issue

[jinkinson]

I want to report a technical issue with js2xml. When I try to execute the example script step by step exactly as given in the readme at this link https://github.com/scrapinghub/js2xml I get an error. Specifically, when I try to run the step "parsed = js2xml.parse(jscode)", I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

There are no periods in the code, so I believe you copy-pasted all lines from the README, including the ... at the beginning of each line. You are not meant to copy those. This is the code you are meant to copy:

function factorial(n) {
    if (n === 0) {
        return 1;
    }
    return n * factorial(n - 1);
}
