Multiline comments error

[zerolx]

Hi, recently I wrote some multi line expression in a app that I create and use mathjs, the expressions is similar a this:
That sample here is wrong made, do not generate errors

# comment
# comment
# any expression
1 + 1

That is the right one: (line break detail)

# comment

Then when executed is given the error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'compile' of undefined

if I put that expressions:

# comment
1 + 1

or that:
1 + 1
or that:
# comment
no error is given, but if i put this:

# comment
# anycomment

the same error appears again, it seems to be a bug in the code so I am reporting

I tested in latest version and happened the same

In console the error appoints to mathjs/lib/expressions/function/eval.js#L44
And is easy to reproduce

Best regards.

Thanks for reporting, how can I reproduce your issue exactly? I tried:

var text = '# comment\n# comment\n# any expression\n1 + 1';

math.eval(text) // works fine, returns a ResultSet [2]

I made a fiddle for this

And sorry, the first sample that I give (and you used) was wrong, that really do not generate error, but the other yes.
Try at the fiddle, I put samples there too

Thanks a lot, I see the problem now, it can be simpified to:

math.eval('\n')  // throws TypeError: Cannot read property 'compile' of undefined

This has been fixed now in the develop branch and will be solved in the first next release.
