version-compatibility issue between lark and lark-js #48

Description

@dima

There's a version-compatibility issue between lark and lark-js.

lark-js 0.1.4 is the newest available release, but it only works reliably with lark 1.0.0. Newer lark versions serialize parser options like strict and ordered_sets, while the JS runtime embedded by lark-js doesn’t understand them and throws:

  • Unknown options: strict,ordered_sets
  • and with even newer lark, also cache_grammar

Why this happens

The standalone parser generator writes a serialized options object into generated parser.js.

With newer lark, that options object includes fields such as:

  • strict
  • ordered_sets
  • cache_grammar

But the JS-side LarkOptions implementation bundled by lark-js 0.1.4 does not accept those fields, so loading the generated parser fails before parsing even starts.

So the short version is:

  • Python side got newer
  • JS side stayed older
  • generated parser became self-incompatible
