Bug ID: 478617
Summary: kwin scripting reports needing ';' or ',' in lines of
good javascript code seen in the declaration 'async'
as well as the 'await' operator.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.10
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: scripts
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: s21926...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: X11+, NVIDIA+
SUMMARY
kwin scripting despite having support and working with promise and thenable
objects under kwin. Does not seem to recognise the operator 'await' or 'async'
declarations which are features of ES6 along with the mentioned thenables and
the class syntax. Both of which I use in my kwin script. Instead of just
working I get syntax errors in the console saying that the specific line is
missing a semicolon or comma.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.
type something like:
```
async function() {
}
```
or like:
```
const variable = await Promise.race([myFunc(500), myAsyncFunc()]);
```
in the plasmainteractive console.
2.
Open up a journalctl listener with:
```
journalctl -f QT_CATEGORY=js QT_CATEGORY=kwin_scripting
```
3.
And execute the scripting using the kwin environment setting in the interactive
console.
OBSERVED RESULT
Outputs these errors in the console:
```

/home/s/.local/share/plasma-interactiveconsole/interactiveconsoleautosave.js:65:

/home/s/.local/share/plasma-interactiveconsole/interactiveconsoleautosave.js:60:
error: Expected token `;'
```
EXPECTED RESULT
Executing the code asynchronously with expected behavior.
