The Tutorial seems to be broken

[ice-cream-coder]

After running npm run serve I get this error:

Unexpected valtype: 0x61

I inspected my wasm_game_of_lif_bg.wasm and found that all functions were defined. __wbindgen_malloc, greet, and __wbindgen_free.

I'm also receiving the same errors when trying to follow the tutorial. Running on macOS. Happy to provide any other helpful information.

[xtuc]

The root of the issue Unexpected valtype: 0x61 comes from https://github.com/xtuc/webassemblyjs, the other errors are from Webpack because we failed to "prepare" the wasm binary.

(I just need to catch my flight and i'll investigate that).

[xtuc]

@roydaw could you please send me the repo the tutorial points to? or the tutorial?

[demurgos]

@xtuc
https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm_game_of_life

But I don't know which chapter has the bug.

[xtuc]

I can't reproduce the issue, every chapter of the wasm_game_of_life works for me.

[ice-cream-coder]

I tried to start the tutorial again and got hung up at a different point. I'm trying to follow this page https://rustwasm.github.io/book/game-of-life/setup.html

This time I wasn't able to build the project with npm run build-debug. I get this error:

error[E0658]: attribute procedural macros are experimental (see issue #38356)6   
 --> src/lib.rs:7:1
  |
5 | use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
  |     ------------------------ procedural macro imported here
6 | 
7 | #[wasm_bindgen]
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = help: add #![feature(proc_macro)] to the crate attributes to enable

I checked my lib.rs file and I do have this line:

#![feature(proc_macro, wasm_custom_section, wasm_import_module)]

So I have no idea why it would do that.
(Using Linux, tried npm 5.5.1 and 5.6.0)

[data-pup]

Oh shoot, good catch! I think that proc_macro needs to be replaced with use_extern_macros. Not positive that applies here as well, but I ran into a similar issue recently!

[alexcrichton]

@roydaw ah for that @data-pup is correct, and I've submitted an update to the tutorial at rustwasm/book#48

[ice-cream-coder]

Awesome, I past npm run build-debug now I'm back to my orignal issue.
(Also, someone could look into fixing the compiler error message since it suggested to add proc_macro instead of use_extern_macros.)

[alexcrichton]

@roydaw have you tried updating your NPM dependencies? This may be a fixed bug in webpack perhaps? The compiler suggestion should be fixed in rust-lang/rust#52458

[ice-cream-coder]

Okay! I ran npm update, and that seemed to fix the issue.

[alexcrichton]

Ok great! In that case sounds like this is fixed now, so closing

[drachehavoc]

same error here, even after execute npm update.
