Notes editor: how to use the 'snippet' tool?

GRO 108

Hi, is there a resource for how to use the tools in the Notes editor

I'm trying to work out how to use the snippet tool which I initially assumed was a code formatter but doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm accessing the course using Firefox 77.0.1

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Do you refer to the Notes in the course? I tried with Chrome and it works. Can you provide a screenshot with the error you are getting, please?

Regards,
Luis.

Hi @luisviveropena,

Yes it is the Notes in the course. There is no error displayed on the window but there is an error printed to console.

I've tried in the following browsers and encountered the same error.

Chrome: 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Vivaldi: 2.4.1488.35 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

Hi @GRO 108 , does the rest of the functionalities work well? What happens when you click on Notes? What OS are you running?
I don't see this kind of issue, but I can pass the information and report the issue.

Regards,
Luis.

Hi @luisviveropena

wrt the snippet tool there is another error output to the console that I'd missed.

Error: Failed to create an instance of 'controller:manager/snippets-modal'. Most likely an improperly defined class or an invalid module export. 2 vendor.gulp.bundle.65435eee.js:19:23943

Other issues I've encountered. I can't see any errors for these so they may be usability issues.

• can't delete tables
• After adding an unordered I can't add text to it (but I can add text and then format as an ul)

Feature request (where is the best place to make these?): markdown in notes

@GRO 108 Thank you for the feedback. I have tested all this functionality on my laptop, and everything works as expected (creating/deleting tables, adding text, bullet points, printing as a pdf, etc), with no errors. Can you please advise what OS are you using?

Also, for editing notes, please keep in mind you can always do so using the html editor.

Hi @fcioanca ,

Sorry, missed posting the OS in my earlier response :facepalm:

I'm using macOS Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101).

Thanks for your help.

fcioanca

I am using the same OS version and have no issues on Chrome. Did you try clearing your cache first?

GRO 108

Thanks for your help @fcioanca but using Chrome with a cold cache I'm still getting the error.

Here's a bug report, is there another forum or resource related specifically to the LMS that I should post this to?
