Issue with publishing to web

Post by zm00 »

I have followed the steps outlined in the documentation, however when I publish to web I get an error stating that "Compilation to WASM appears to have failed". It produces some of the web files but not mdl.js or mdl.wasm.

Is anyone aware of what could be causing this? (I don't have admin rights for my computer so would need to be able to explain clearly what the fix needs to be to IT)

What versions of GIT, Python and Emscripten do you have installed?

And are you on MacOS or Windows?

ok. If you edit
C:\Users\Public\Vensim\COMP\wasm\wasm_compile.bat

and make sure the last line is "pause". Run the compile to web again and the compile window should pause so that you can see the errors. Can you paste the output here?

Also, be sure you're running the latest Vensim - one of the 8.1.x versions was mismatched with an emscripten update as I recall.

I have edited the file to have pause however it is still closing. The error says that it is unable to find mdl.js and mdl.wasm.

It looks like it's not getting to the line where is calls the emscripten compiler.

The batch file to compile has the following lines,

Code: Select all

del web\mdl.js
del web\mdl.wasm
mkdir web
Which are executed (the "could not find" and "a subdirectory or file." show this).

Does the compile process just stop at this point?
