"Expecting double quoted ..."

[timobaumann]

what is your browser? what precisely is the complaint?

Yes, please give more details if you intersted in a solution. If the demo page works in your browser there is probably a syntax error in your configuration file.

Have look at the abx, mushra, and preference config:
{ "Name": "Castanets", "TestID": "id2", "Files": { "A": "audio/castanets_ref.wav", "B": "audio/castanets_2.wav", } }, ] }
The last coma leads to errors in Firefox.

I would further suggest to define the config files as JSON, instead of putting a singe JS variable in such a file.

In the index.html the JS code can be easily changed.

window.onload = function () {
            $.ajax({
                url: '/config/ab-experiment-config.json', // change your config file here
                type: 'GET',
                dataType: 'json',
                success: function (data) {
                    //testHandle = new MushraTest(data);    // <-- MUSHRA test class
                    testHandle = new AbxTest(data);     // <-- ABX test class
                    $('#Footer').prepend(testHandle.browserFeatureString() + '<br/>'); // still a bad coding practice here
                },
                error: function (err) {
                    console.error(err); 
                }
            });
        };

Yes, that would be a little cleaner as the config does not include the TestConfig variable definition. But that does not work anymore when running and testing locally, right? AFAIK an ajax call to a local file is not allowed in most browsers. This will only work when Beaqlejs is uploaded to a Webserver.

The last coma leads to errors in Firefox.

I agree that this comma is not required, but I do neither get any warnings nor errors in the Firefox web console window. I have just verified this with Firefox 60.5 ESR from my Debian system.

I expected that a web-based app would run on a remote or local web server.

The things with the comma might be more a matter of coding standards. However, I was not able to run the app because of this bugs.

[timobaumann]

can we close this then as there's no bug and possibly move the discussion about requiring a web server (which, at the same time would simplify the JS) into a different bug/feature request/issue?
