First production build - JS errors around let-statements

[Brainchild]

I'm getting this error when I try a production build for my game:

Code: Select all

missing ; before statement

On a line like this, for example:

Code: Select all

let STOCK_SELECTION_MODE_OFF = 0;

I've determined it doesn't like the let keyword. If I change it to var it compiles fine. I thought maybe production is not supporting Javascript ECMAScript 6, but I'm able to use const, which I believe was also introduced in ES6.

My advice : run babeljs (https://babeljs.io/) on your code and pick ECMA5 to be sure that it will pass shrinksafe (you can also download the shrinksafe version used on BGA to check before deployment).
Too bad we are not allowed to use ECMA6 with arrow-function (solved so many scoping issue)...

This is mentioned in the docs:
http://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Game_i ... amename.js
Section: ShrinkSafe minimization

There it mentions ECMAScript 3 (1999) as the cut-off..

But Brainchild is right about const being introduced in ES6 so why is that working...

As far as I know, it does'nt.
