Topic on Manual talk:Mathoid

When Mathoid is running I try to test it using:

curl -d 'q=E=mc^2' localhost:10044

as per the manual. Instead of the expected result I get:

{"status":500,"type":"internal_error","title":"TypeError","detail":"Cannot read property 'semantic' of undefined","method":"POST","uri":"/","success":false,"log":"Cannot read property 'semantic' of undefined","error":""}

My log shows:

nodejs version is 8.9.4.

Any ideas?

Why was this marked as resolved? No solution was offered on here. I still have the problem. So how has it been resolved?

I also face the exact same problem.

I have installed mathoid on Ubuntu 18.04. It used to work correctly, but recently it has been displayed as "Conversion error. Server ("cli") reported: " on mediawiki.

When I run:

curl -d 'q=E=mc^2' myserver:10044     (myserver is IP address of server running mathoid)

I get:

{"status":500,"type":"internal_error","title":"TypeError","detail":"Cannot read property 'semantic' of undefined","method":"POST","uri":"/","success":false,"log":"Cannot read property 'semantic' of undefined","error":""}

nodejs version is 8.10.0

Are there any workarounds?
