dw 2019 javascript dom undefined

I just updated to Dreamweaver 2019 and now all the basic objects in JavaScript (e.g. document, window, alert, XMLHTTPRequest, etc.) are no longer defined. Lines that reference any JavaScript object have errors like, "ERROR: 'document' is not defined. [no-under]". What happened?

    Thank you for downloading the latest Dreamweaver CC. Dreamweaver CC uses ESLint for linting Javascript files. To copy the default eslint configuration file(rules file) to the site, goto Site Setup Dialog->Advanced Settings->JSLint and click on Edit Configuration file to get the default .eslintrc.js file copied to the site root. In the .eslintrc.js file, add the following environment option:

    "env": {

            "browser": true

        }

    You may want to look at  https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#specifying-environments  for defining other environments for the site if needed. If your site already has any of the eslint configuration files [https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#configuration-file-formats ], add the above environment to the configuration file.

    Thanks,

    Adobe Dreamweaver Team

    Hi, the solution provided by the adobe team does not work for me either. Do you have another solution or tip to remedy the problem. It's really complicated to work with this software that displays errors repeatedly!

    Hi All,

    We have prepared a Kb article which mentions the workaround for this issue.

    Hi Kratika,

    Unfortunately, the zip-folder available at "Workaround 2" is empty.

    Edit: Not the zip-folder itself is empty, but it contains an empty folder.

    I tried two different Macs. See the unzipped folder here:

      Hi,

      I am probably a stupid donkey, but I still don't know how to get read of the JS errors that have appeared with DW 2019 (and were totally absent from the former version).

      As proposed in the answer, I have checked the JSLint and it seems in accordance with your recommendation (see first screenshot).

      Nevertheless, I have a tremendous set of stupid errors, with unrecognized keywords (see second screenshot).

      So, I really need simple and efficient help!

      Thank you

      Uninstall Dreamweaver 19  and use prior version. If JavaScript authoring is your thing, consider a proper authoring tool, such as Visual Studio. The Dreamweaver programming team has some serious issues to resolve before I would even consider the latest and greatest (really, Preran? Do you really believe that. If so, there is a bridge in New York I'd like to sell you) versions. Refuse updates ntil you have reviewed the impact.

      This reminds me of how you decided to install Microsoft updates... in the last century.

      Listen to Adobe if you wish. But forewarned is forearmed.

        I don't use the CC version of Dw, but in the release notes for Dw 2019 I notice that Dw now supports ecma6.

        A common problem with other code editors that added ecma6 support was when using jQuery, with the jQuery file linked to an external server. Are you using jQuery?
