this.lexer is undefined

mochicode commented 7 years ago

When I build and run the ansic example from the repository I get the following error:

var lexer = Object.create(this.lexer);
                       ^

I used yarn run jison examples/ansic.jison to build the parser and tried to use the cli as well as to embed the parser in a program and I'm getting the same error.

The calculator example, however, works fine.

The calculator example comes with both lexer (inside a %lex.../lex section) and a grammar (parser), while the ansic example does not include a lexer spec, hence jison does not produce a lexer to go with the parser. Hence this.lexer is not defined.

Hey, sorry that I didn't had time to responde. I thought that the examples would work, thous I was a little confused.

zaach / jison

this.lexer is undefined #353
