Just run into this problem too and spent several hours vainly searching my own code before searching further afield. Many thanks to lodlock for the workaround. This should be reopened...

My project is Vespucci. Feel free to check out our code and try that. We're tracking this problem ourselves too: http://code.google.com/p/osmeditor4android/issues/detail?id=114 It's possible the bug has morphed a little since...

This may be helpful, I'm not sure: https://github.com/pwa-builder/pwabuilder-ios/pull/54

No minimal test case - I found this while using `w = $tw.rootWidget.makeFakeWidgetWithVariables(vars)` where `vars` was something like `{varname:0}`, then calling `($tw.wiki.compileFilter(filterstr))(null, w)` and the filter string is using jsonget...

If TiddlyWiki generally expects variables to be text, then is the correct fix in "makeFakeWidgetWithVariables"? Should `getVariable()`/`getVariableInfo()` be doing something smarter than `return variables[name];`?

`makeFakeWidgetsWithVariables` does almost no processing to the variables. It doesn't ensure that variables are strings, and I think that "light touch" has merit, and shouldn't change. I'd still like to...

Just because `|| ""` is used elsewhere isn't a reason not to fix the problem here. If you like the idea of "least surprise", then I was quite surprised to...
