Welcome Screen not loading
Describe the bug A window with "Light Table" written in center loads - after that, Welcome Screen doesn't load.
Branch develop
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Build Light Table from source by following Instructions for Linux :
$ git clone https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable.git
$ cd LightTable
# Creates a directory in builds/
$ script/build.sh
- Start application by running command
builds/lighttable-0.8.0-linux/LightTable. - A window opens with "Light Table" written in center.
- Welcome Screen doesn't load.
- File menu shows only Quit option, and Help menu shows (empty).
- Developer Console (opened from View > Toggle Developer Tools) shows following errors:
Uncaught ReferenceError: global is not defined
at cljs.cljs:24
LightTable.html?id=1:36 TypeError: Cannot read property 'app' of undefined
at HTMLScriptElement.script.onload (LightTable.html?id=1:34)
script.onload @ LightTable.html?id=1:36
LightTable.html?id=1:37 TypeError: Cannot read property 'app' of undefined
at HTMLScriptElement.script.onload (LightTable.html?id=1:34)
- The window doesn't close by any of these methods:
- Clicking "Close Window" standard button at top right of window.
- Clicking Quit in File menu.
- Right click on LightTable icon in dock and select Quit.
Expected behavior Welcome Screen should load in a few moments after LightTable window opens. Clicking Quit button should close application.
Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Browser: Microsoft Edge Version 97.0.1072.76 (Official build) (64-bit)
- LightTable Version 0.9.0
Additional context I had to build from source because when I downloaded LightTable Tar file from main Downloads page, I faced this issue: Harfbuzz version too old.
Same here on WSL Ubuntu 20.04
I met the same issue today. Hope any one help us. @KipourosV @sohang3112 @cndreisbach
@KipourosV @jacksonsc007 Since Light Table didn't work out, I tried Calva (in VS Code) - that has been a quite good experience.
thanks. I will give it a shot. @sohang3112
