ExtendScript
Test in Illustrator
Some input on illustrator https://github.com/jtnimoy/scripting-for-illustrator-tutorial
My focus has been on Illustrator scripting ... I think I can help with this over the coming weeks. Any suggestions on testing? Anything in particular I should look out for, or is it just to generally test in Illustrator to see how it handles various features es5 and es6 in an es3 environ?
I do see there's already a test script here:
https://github.com/ExtendScript/extendscriptr/blob/f778e762428362dbf4a8f6a615ceeadd5d50a5c6/test/src/illustrator.js
I'm new t o extendscriptr, but definitely interested in helping.
@mhulse Thanks for offering your help. It has been getting a bit quite around here. :-)
We need testing for:
extendscript specific features like:
File, Folder, $ and so on
and of course some more complex scritps like the first test we have.
On the JS side there is a lot to be done. Maybe we should take this table as basic for things we want to test --> http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/
Actually every ES6 feature needs to be tested. For now we only have import and template strings in there. I would start with:
let, const, () => {}, argument defaults…
Awesome! Sounds good! I'll put this on my list of projects to tackle over the coming weeks! 👍
Thanks for the quick reply and details @fabiantheblind!
Awesome looking forward to some contributions. Do you want to make a fork of the repo or work on another branch in here?

when Illustrator runs this script after compiling , I get this error.
Hi @kostimarko would be good to open a separate issue for that. I don't have Illustrator currently installed so I can't test it right away. My guess is:
The object document.layer is not a normal Javascript array. It is a collection object which has some overlapping properties with the JS Array. If you can run a test that shows that forEach is actually not working we can investigate more.
@fabianmoronzirfas you're correct. It is not an array. Sorry about that.
