window.close() не исполняется

Question

Я работаю над текстовой игрой, а window.close(); - это то, что я использую, когда персонаж умирает. Однако, когда используется обработчик window.close();, он не закрывает окно и просто полностью пропускает часть, переходя к другим операторам оповещения/if else.

Answer 1

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.close

Под Описание:

Этот метод допускается только называется для окон, которые были открыты с помощью сценария с помощью метода window.open. Если окно не было открыто скриптом, в консоли JavaScript появляется следующая ошибка: Сценарии могут не закрывать окна, которые не были открыты скриптом.

Answer 2

Это правда, что вы не можете использовать window.open, если окно не было открыто скриптом. Один из способов обойти это с помощью

window.open('', '_self', ''); 
window.close(); 

Это позволит обойти требование в некоторых браузерах, он работает в хром, но я не пробовал другие.

Я действительно рекомендую переосмыслить это. Запись в div или какой-то текстовый ящик будет намного проще для пользователя.
