I am experiencing some strange behavior when importing a tagged template from another notebook (the same tagged template works fine when created within the notebook). This notebook: Untitled / Daniel Howe / Observable demonstrates the problem with a minimal example.
Any insight would be appreciated
When the like rsl = RiTa.template(md); is commented out, the imported rs works. Itās like the two versions donāt work together.
I donāt see thatā¦ When I comment the rsl call, I get the same behavior (see below). And I actually noticed the problem when using `rs ` alone, so I donāt think this is the issue (though I could be wrong).
Interesting.For me, the headings donāt work in either example. And even in the Rita Utilities notebook, the headings donāt work (see below).
I am using Chrome
I tried to visit @dhowe/rita in Safari and itās unable to load Rita due to a parsing error:
SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: invalid group specifier name
I see the same thing as @Cobus in Chrome: it doesnāt render the headings on either of the two notebooks, and all the code behaves the same way.
Thanks much for everyoneās feedback. I think Iāve located in the issue in the library. The reason it was manifesting strangely was that different minor versions of the library were being loaded in the two examples.
Follow-ups:
You can just say:
RiTa = require("rita")
which would get you the newest version.
That gets you the newest version at that moment. What Iām asking is if there is a way to keep in sync with the newest versionā¦
I am not quite sure I understand the question then. It would load the newest version whenever you refresh your browser window (which would re-execute the ārequireā call in the cell).
That doesnāt always seem to be the case. See below (directly after refresh):
Though this may relate to jsdelivr caching, which apparently can take up to 24 hrs
Ah, perhaps. This is what I get:
Was that a new notebook, or a an existing one that you refreshed? Because the jsdelivr cache has now refreshed with the new version and I still see previous versions in my notebooks after a page refresh:
OK, so I think this is due to cacheing in the browser. Require actually loads from unpkg, and if you read the cacheing behavior here: https://unpkg.com it seems like the best advice is actually to specify the version in the require, otherwise it may just use the browser cached version.
It does? Afaik d3-require defaults to cdn.jsdelivr.net. Only Observableās import() override defaults to unpkg.com (when used without a hostname).
Indeed, you are right! Sorry for the misinformation. Ignore what I said about require using unpkg!
