Situation 3

Error: 'Unable to retrieve board information. Connection Error?'

The user is stuck in a Catch-22 at this point. As code 'Send to Espruino' never completes the upload process, one is unable to load the debugger, nor is one able to garner much more from the IDE console output. Without ample prior awareness and a load of actual usage, one may not have the insight as to what to do. The reason I started this post.

It is not intuitive that a static code file can cause the IDE to freeze

I agree with @allObjects in #8

re: for people who do not come from a world of Espruino where code is executed on reception

for the intuitive reason I stated. As one is able to type commands directly in the Left-hand pane terminal window

http://www.espruino.com/Quick+Start+Code

and later learn that the same commands can also be typed in the Right-hand text editor, it never becomes obvious that a static ASCII file may cause issues as did this one I uncovered.

Until you find . . . .
