Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

You need to set the workerScript url if it's not in the same dir as the page

@1j01 thanks a lot, I used file loader minutes ago, it is now working well :) Blob is not compatible well with some IE browser

[jnordberg]

Probably due to you running it from disk instead of a web server

[vincerubinetti]

Not the case. Thank you for the prompt response, and I apologize for the lack of detail. Was writing this very late at night and exhausted.

See here: http://vincentrubinetti.com/apps/test/Gyrographer.html Press "Export Animated GIF" and look in the console.

Here's my set up:

animate step function
{
animate step++
draw new canvas
add frame with gif.js
if animate done
{
render gif.js
}
else
{
setTimeout this step function 10 ms
}
}

It might have something to do with the htaccess... I'll fool around with that.

[vincerubinetti]

I did:

encoder = new GIF({width: Canvas.width, height: Canvas.height, workers: 2, quality: 10, workerScript: 'App/gif'});

Does it have to be an absolute path?

[jnordberg]

it needs to be a url to the actual script, not the directory it resides in

[vincerubinetti]

Very good, got it working. Thank you! Perhaps you should make that clear in the workerScript description in the readme to avoid future confusion.

[jnordberg]

It's pretty clear already IMHO

[ionull]

@jnordberg Is there any suggestion to use it in a webpack project(like vuejs), since it is a one-js-file project.

[jnordberg]

@ionull No, not really. The worker script is loaded through the browsers loading system, maybe that can be monkeypatched to do something but i doubt it.

[ionull]

@jnordberg I found something like worker-loader workerjs project which will load worker from file. But in gif.js project we must use a file path instead of worker instance.

[1j01]

See #58, #47; @ZigGreen was able to load the worker with a blob URL.
You could use webpack-contrib/raw-loader or similar to dynamically inline the file in the resulting bundle.
