highlight.js 3rd party plugin error: Cannot read properties of undefined

+3
−0

Highlight.js version: 11.6.0

Node version: v18.12.0

npm version: 8.19.12

When I provide a plugin with the following code to highlightjs (full code is at github):

/*
Language: BQN
Requires:
Author: Raghu Ranganathan <rraghu.11502@gmail.com>
Contributors: 
Description: BQN array language definitions
Website: https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN
*/
export default function(hljs) {
  return {
 name: "BQN",
    unicodeRegex: true,
    keywords: '•BQN •ReBQN •primitives', // only primitive functions included.
    contains: [
    {
      scope: 'string',
      begin: '"', end: '"'
    }
  }

I get the following error during build:

$ node tools/build.js -t node
Starting build.
Finished build.

  const common = languages.filter(l => l.categories.includes("common"));

Answer from allejo (highlightjs contributor):

In your language file, remove your empty Requires: line in the comment. After removing that, it should let you compile again. The comment is significant to the build process.

This will likely be handled silently or throw a warning in a future version of highlight.js.
