Weird. Seems like removing the `<`, `/`, or `s`, from the `< /script>` tag prevents the error from happening while using `let test;`

@kll – Strange. Did you ever report this as an issue to the editor codebase?

as i found a little bit logical work around i did not do.

as the `/* ..... */ `  
is not strong for hide `< .. >`  
from browser must do what you do inside HTML  
to document something:

```auto
 /* .. <!-- .. <..> .. --> .. */

```

like:

```auto
/*
...
// _________________________________! INFO !
<!-- 
 need 
    <script src="myTools.js"></script>  
 inside index.html
-->
...
*/

```
