1+4 throws evalScript error...??

[blackjade-]

Hi all,

I've been using a premiere pro extension I've made through a local python server (server.py). The py file also has all the extend script code (using pymiere package, eval_script).

I decided to push the server to heroku, and move the eval_script to main.js (which will remain local). But I can't get csInterface.evalScript to work. It keeps through EvalScript error. So I tried a basic script. Literally, 1+4. I tried with and without the return statement.

var csInterface = new CSInterface();
csInterface.evalScript("return 1 + 4;", function(result) {
                            resultElement.textContent = 'Result: ' + result;  // I display the result in html inside premiere
                        });

And

csInterface.evalScript("1 + 4;", function(result) {
                            resultElement.textContent = 'Result: ' + result; //again display in html inside ppro
                        });

am I using this wrong..? python's eval_script worked just fine.

 It keeps through throwing EvalScript error.

Also, I've tried passing other things too. Here's my actual code:

const data = JSON.parse(response);

// we a string of the extendscript from the python server, tried both with and without escaping slashes for js
const token = data.extendscript || data.extendScript;

var csInterface = new CSInterface();

// Attempt to run extendscript
csInterface.evalScript(script, function(result) {
    resultElement.textContent = 'Result: ' + result;
}

HI @blackjade-, 
Was it a script that was working and then stopped when you moved stuff around, or has it never worked?  What does the script do?

Can you provide steps which reliably reproduce the problem, without involving any Python?

A solid repro case, using CEP HTML Test Panel, would be ideal...
