Are you using Chrome version 102.0.x? If yes, then the popup "Error: Possible side-effect in debug-evaluate." is caused by a bug in Chrome 102 that has recently broken the usage of the debugger in most Twine games, or in any Javascript code that includes a window.onerror handler.I tried to use this but get an error message
Solutions:
- dismiss the popup every time you type something in the browser console (you will have to do that several times, but it will eventually work),
- switch to a different browser (e.g., Firefox),
- downgrade from Chrome 102 to Chrome 101,
- or wait until the bug is fixed in the next release of Chrome. This bug was fixed two weeks ago but it has not been officially released yet. For technical details, see:
