RevBrowserInit - failing

[flipjay]

Here is another livecode beginner completely baffled.

The command RevBrowserOpen(tWindowId,pUrl) throws an error.
I am on a Ubuntu dev platform and have Chrome set as my default browser.

Have verified the target url in native Chrome therefore the Problem must be tWindowId which is blank.
Just before the open call I have verified the contents of twindowid to be the name twindowid
I am assuming that the value should be set (somewhere) in the live code environment and failing????

Is this a platform issue or a platform config issue?

Please give me a work-around.

Contrary to the promotional material I am finding the "natural" language to be equal in syntax issues as Java Script!
Comments????

Hi Phil,
Welcome to the forum

Have you tried the "Browser Sampler" from the Resources icon?
See if that works for you.

Regarding samples/examples i have tested:
BrowserTest
Browser_Sample
MobileBrowserExample
TestDropBox

All fail in the same way!!!
Cannot execute RevBrowserOpen

HI flipJay,

RevBrowser does not currently function on the Linux platform and this is why you will be experiencing this error. This is noted within the LiveCode dictionary under supported operating systems.

We are currently working on implementing a new cross platform browser object which should resolve this.

Kind Regards,

Well that's the Pitts!
Any kind of a time frame?

Urgently need central store/access of data and too cheap to pay for mysql hosting.
Was counting heavily on dropbox.

I asume the same problem exists for any cloud storage service????

Work a rounds anyone?
