How can you tell that is the issue here? It all looks Greek to me.

[Moonchild]

The key is the following:

Code: Select all

Error: SyntaxError: await is a reserved identifier

"await" is a specific keyword that is reserved and can't be defined by any script itself.
The error that "await" is being a reserved identifier means it's being used in a place in the scripting where it isn't expected. Since the identifier can't be interpreted in that location it assumes it's being redefined, causing the error. In our case that would only occur at the top level where we don't currently support it (as we don't asynchronously wrap all scripting)

I take it then that this is not a trivial fix, since it's been an issue for 2 years?

It's fairly non-trivial, yeah.
But it's also "funny" because await effectively "stops" the script from executing until the operation completes, turning an asynchronous operation into a synchronous one (it's more complex than that, but conceptually that's how it works).
Traditionally, <script> tags would "stop" loading the document until the source is downloaded and evaluated. It is not truly equivalent but for most purposes placing a piece of code inside a <script> tag and using "top level await" have the exact same effect, making the latter not any better for performance than the old approach while adding piles of delicate code to the underlying engine.
