Timer in notes - ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Reveal

[gnpan]

Running a slide show created with pandoc, with reveal assets provided locally, in Safari 11.1.1, macOSX 10.13.5. When notes are activated, the slides display OK but the timer and clock do not work (same with other browsers). The console shows the following error:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Reveal
getTimings — notes.html:484
setupTimer — notes.html:541
handleConnectMessage — notes.html:387
(anonymous function) — notes.html:354

Referencing the reveal.js URL instead of local access also does not work. Clearing browser cache did not help.
Strangely, exactly the same file copied to a different computer with identical OS and browser setup shows the timer OK.
Any troubleshooting tips greatly appreciated.

It's possible this is the same issue as #2157. The fix for this is in the dev branch but not yet in master. If you're not already, you could try it with the dev branch to see if that fixes your issue.

Or it could be the same as #2119, which still seems to be an issue.

I tried the dev branch, but the issue remains. It does look like #2119. I just installed Firefox and it is OK, so Safari & Chrome have the issue. What I can't understand is why it works fine for Safari (but not Chrome) on a different mac with identical setup.

This issue is still persistent in May 2023. Apparently there has been some change in Chrome that causes this to happen, but Reveal.js is practically useless without this fix

[emnachouchane]

Apparently, this issue is related to Chrome latest version update. To be sure try to uninstall the current version of Chrome and then install an older version manually, So that we can identify the source of the problem.

Can you confirm this has been tested to work on previous chrome versions? Because I've seen people complain about this problem for 5 years now
