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:

  1. 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
  1. Start application by running command builds/lighttable-0.8.0-linux/LightTable.
  2. A window opens with "Light Table" written in center.
  3. Welcome Screen doesn't load.
  4. File menu shows only Quit option, and Help menu shows (empty).
  5. 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)
  1. 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.

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.

@KipourosV @jacksonsc007 Since Light Table didn't work out, I tried Calva (in VS Code) - that has been a quite good experience.
