git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/services/mobileapps.git
- Try evaling this line. Evaling will start and then throw a popup:
The node process exited.

Edit: Original SyntaxError fixed by https://github.com/LightTable/Javascript/commit/58c00b127fbfa5df2c8727c9e60772e6da37b497
The fix will involve understanding how code is being involved in ltnodeclient.js. Pull requests are welcome until the core team has time to look at this
I'd like to fix this. Please guide me through the code flow for this.
