The whole site is white and there’s only a window.eval() error showing up.
window.eval() is not available in Peruse for security reasons. I’d wager it’s this error that’s causing your site to crash.
How about injecting something that will print an explanatory error for this and other unsupported features?

We could add on ‘for security reasons’, i suppose. But that error should be clear enough.

Where does my site, or safe_web_app_quick_start of the tutorial for that matter, call window.eval() in the first place?
I haven’t checked your code, so I’m not sure. Is the above error the error that you see?
Have you checked to see if eval is being called at all in your code?
If you’re not using window.eval then that is indeed strange. Maybe you can provide more info on the error and your system. Is the site published on the network or are you running localhost?
I think it is being called in one of the packages I use.
I’ll dig deeper into it when I get home.
localhost
[edit]
This does not seem to be related to my own code.
Even the safe web example has this.
It seems to be related to webpack.

Can you try with this version of the browser please:
I think the eval override came in with the webId POC stuff (I think). So that version may go for you. If that is the case, we’ll need to update the example.
It seems like the key thing would be turning off hot_reloading in webpack, as that’s attempting to trigger the eval statement.

But how to turn off hot reloading?
I’ve tried this without success:
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.vue$/,
loader: 'vue-loader',
options: {
hotReload: false
}
}
]
}
}
neutrinorc.js
module.exports = {
use: [
[
'@neutrinojs/vue',
{
html: {
title: 'SAFE Web App'
}
}
],
(neutrino) => {
neutrino.config.module
.rule('vue')
.test(/\.vue$/)
.use('vue')
.loader('vue-loader')
.options({hotReload: false});
}
]
};
You’ll probably need to consult the vue loader docs to find that out.
Wrong package. I think I need to disable webpack-dev-server instead.
Yet this doesn’t work either:
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
devServer: {
hot: false,
inline: false
}
};
neutrinorc.js
module.exports = {
use: [
[
'@neutrinojs/vue',
{
html: {
title: 'SAFE Web App'
}
}
],
(neutrino) => {
neutrino.config.devServer
.hot(false)
.inline(false)
}
]
};
[update]
Nor this
neutrinorc.js
module.exports = {
use: [
[
'@neutrinojs/vue',
{
hot: false,
html: {
title: 'SAFE Web App'
},
devServer: {
hot: false,
hotOnly: false
}
}
]
]
};
I’ve gotten into the same issue using Vue. I think it’s impossible to use the runtime version of Vue without the use of eval. eval is used by Vue to compile the templates.
To test the Vue application you’d have to build it, then serve it (or does Peruse allow file:// browsing?).
@joshuef, is there any chance of the eval coming back? It seems it is relied on by a few progressive web frameworks at least.
edit: I assumed @folaht was using the latest vue-cli 3, but it seems you’ve been using version 2. I just successfully tested a Vue 2 application with hot reloading in Peruse using this template: GitHub - vuejs-templates/browserify: A full-featured Browserify + vueify setup with hot-reload, linting & unit testing.
Btw, @folaht, I see you’re using Babel in your code — I think that’s unnecessary as your only targeted browser is Peruse, which is supporting the latest and greatest JS etc. Using the templates for vue-cli I think you should try and minimize the additional plugins you use.
As far as I can tell, I’m not using vue-cli.
I’m not familiar with the many npmjs packages out there.
It’s all new to me.
I’ve tried minimizing the amount of plugins I use, but these were the ones I was “left” with:
https://gitlab.com/UniversalBasics/Yropeen/Site-Yropeen/blob/master/package.json
Btw, @Folatt, I see you’re using Babel in your code — I think that’s unnecessary as your only targeted browser is Peruse, which is supporting the latest and greatest JS etc.
What babel code should I scrap?
All I know is that I like importing files from root, so I added babel-plugin-root-import.

I saw the babel-preset-stage-2 dependency which is outdated and the .babelrc files — I didn’t know you only used Babel for importing files.
Ah! Then you did a fine job in creating that project yourself, as setting up such a project in combination with Webpack and hot reloading etc! I always found it a little tiresome and confusing — which is why Vue made a tool to scaffold a project for you.
Give GitHub - vuejs-templates/browserify: A full-featured Browserify + vueify setup with hot-reload, linting & unit testing. a try to have it scaffold a project for you.
Despite being new with all of this, I do know that neutrino is supposed to make using webpack a lot easier.
Except for the hot reloading issue.
That version also contains the eval override:
@joshuef, would it be sensible to allow eval for development (either when using mock or NODE_ENV on dev)?
Something like this (can’t figure out the right way to do it quickly (overriding - How override eval function in javascript? - Stack Overflow) but I guess you get the gist):
window.eval = global.eval = () =>
{
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
throw new Error( 'Sorry, peruse does not support window.eval().' );
}
return window.eval.apply(this, arguments);
};
Solved by the neutrino dev team 
module.exports = {
use: [
['@neutrinojs/vue', {
// Existing options
}],
(neutrino) => {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
// Override the default development source map of 'cheap-module-eval-source-map'
// to one that doesn't use `eval` (reduces incremental build performance).
neutrino.config.devtool('cheap-module-source-map');
}
}
]
};

Cool! Good to see it could be solved. Might see if this is something that I can use as a solution too without NeutrinoJS.
Linking the solution for future reference btw: Peruse does not support window.eval() used in webpack-dev-server. Turning off hot reloading has no effect. · Issue #1063 · neutrinojs/neutrino · GitHub
edit: Yaay, the same solution can be applied to the project generated by vue-cli:
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
config.devtool('cheap-module-source-map');
},
}
Really awesome that the guy from NeutrinJS got it figured out.
I’m even more confused than before about source maps. Didn’t know the client passively inspects and executes the source maps on the background — thought it was only for inspection and debugging using the devtools.
