Imprecise console.log error message to a misspelling

• WebGL
• [X ] Other (imprecise console.log error message)

Details about the bug: the console.log said that ellipse was expecting a different argument, however my mistake was misspelling the word "constructor" as cconstructor; to be sure, i misspelled it in a different way and the console printed out the same error message; i thought if misspellings of other commands like strokeWeight can be returned as errors, the same could be done with "constructor"

CONSOLE:

p5.js says: ellipse() was expecting Number for parameter #1 (zero-based index), received an empty variable instead. If not intentional, this is often a problem with scope: [https://p5js.org/examples/data-variable-scope.html] at about:srcdoc:84:5. [http://p5js.org/reference/#p5/ellipse]

Hi @eharkins100 do you have a sample code demonstrating the issue? Thanks.

hi Kenneth, *this is my bubble.js file with the typo "coonstructor"* class Bubble { coonstructor(x, y, r) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.r = r; } show() { stroke(255, 255, 0); fill(175); strokeWeight(2); ellipse(this.x, this.y, this.r * 2); } move() { this.x = this.x + random(-5, 5); this.y = this.y + random(-5, 5); } } *here is the console.log output*

p5.js says: ellipse() was expecting Number for parameter #0 (zero-based

index), received an empty variable instead. If not intentional, this is often a problem with scope: [ https://p5js.org/examples/data-variable-scope.html] at about:srcdoc:84:5. [ http://p5js.org/reference/#p5/ellipse]

constructor in this case is a Javascript keyword, unlike something like strokeWeight which is defined in the library itself, we have no way of checking whether constructor is correctly spelled or not.

oh okay ..that makes sense well thanks Kenneth for the quick response
