Why does JSTalk finds syntax errors in a correct javascript file?

[fpinzn]

I'm experimenting around with JsTalk and tried to use underscore.js from my script (I concatenated the files) and when I run it using jstalk it finds the following error:

Error line 503, SyntaxError: Expected an identifier but found '[' instead

When I execute the exact same code using node instead of jstalk it works just fine.

It's probably a problem with the preprocessor. Can you paste the code somewhere?

[fpinzn]

It's just underscore js with a print after it. You can check it here: https://github.com/fpinzn/sketch-commands/blob/master/dist/HelloWorld.jstalk

Looks like the preprocessor is turning:
result[list[i]] = values[i];
into:
resultlist.i = values[i];

If you're using the framework in an app, you can turn off the preprocessor which should fix this. You won't be able to use objc syntax though. Hopefully I'll get this fixed in a future update.

I'm developing a plugin for Sketch, is there a way (native to jsTalk) to bypass the preprocessor given a directive in the source or something like that, or its up to the application?

I don't really use the objc syntax, I'm actually using coffeescript.

It's up to the app unfortunately.
