Working around cytoscape error messaging about flowchart-fun HOT 6 CLOSED

After some more playing, this doesn't appear to be an issue when creating a new chart - only when adjusting the default example.

Also appears to be an issue in Chrome

@ikesau You're getting an error because line 11 is expecting to find a target 1 – this will look for either a line with ID [1] (like this) or a line with the label 1 (like this), or this node on the line number 1 (like this). In your case none of those three exist, so it's telling you it doesn't know which target node to draw the edge to.

Let me know if that doesn't cover it or if the bug is related to the tutorial window.

Oh god If only I'd actually read the example. Sorry for the drive-by ticket. 🤦

Two things then:

1. looks like cytoscape.js uses the french spelling of existent
2. The error message reads extremely "programmatically generated by some dependency" which is why I assumed it wasn't my fault 😅 - if we can't change their messaging, could we possibly add some "here's the culprit" line highlighting?

I never caught that- weird!

I totally agree that we need some more human-readable error messages. I've made a task for myself and I'll leave this open until it merges.

Thanks!

@ikesau Going to close this one because error messaging got a little improvement in the last cycle. https://twitter.com/tone_row_/status/1505931806469677063

Thanks for opening!
