Hey @Ttimurttt , sorry for the late reply! Could you please provide a screenshot or a video showing how you're encountering the issue and the error message in the console? I have tested both the OS and web versions but haven't been able to replicate the problem

1. Firstly, the loadStrings() function here is used to load the data stored in the Textic.txt file in the console as an output.

2. If we will not write noCanvas() then the p5.js web editor will create an empty canvas as a default behaviour which is not required for this code.

3. With the help of noCanvas() in the code the empty canvas will not be seen there and the text output will be shown as an output in the console.

4. Thus , Using nocanvas() here is beneficial.

Fixed Code :

let txt;

function preload() {
txt = loadStrings('Textic.txt');
}

function setup() {
noCanvas(); // Safely ensures no canvas is created
console.log(txt);
}

5. Also , Ensure that Textic.txt file is Loaded Correctly in the root directory of the project.

6. The main objective of the code you had written is to load the data written in the Textic.txt file in the Console as an output , there is no need of any canvas here.

7. The first image here shows the data written in the Textic.txt file and the second image shows the Code and the correct output in the console. The same code is even running correctly on my local machine.

Thankyou , If you have any doubt feel free to ask .

@raclim I have thoroughly reviewed the issue description and attempted to replicate it, but I found no actual issue in the P5 repository or library. It appears to be a misunderstanding of the concept from the client's side. Could you please review and close the issue?
