Forcing canvas or webGl not working in the last github versions

[sandbird]

PIXI.autoDetectRenderer is working fine.

In the past I have the option to use directly both PIXI.CanvasRenderer and PIXI.WebGLRenderer to force pixi to choose either canvas or webGl.

In the latest version it's not possible anymore and:

PIXI.CanvasRenderer - always returning null object (on both borwsers with no web-gl and with web-gl support).

PIXI.WebGLRenderer - always returning object that doesn't work.

PIXI.autoDetectRenderer is working fine.

 

Source code:

 

    // Create an new instance of a pixi stage:
    this.stage = new PIXI.Stage ( 0x000000, true );

    // Create a renderer instance:
    var engineType = 0; // either 0,1 or 2
    var widthMax = $(window).width ();
    var heightMax = $(window).height ();
   
    switch ( engineType ) {
        case 1:
        case 'canvas':
            this.renderer = PIXI.CanvasRenderer ( widthMax, heightMax );
            break;

        case 2:
        case 'webgl':
            this.renderer = PIXI.WebGLRenderer ( widthMax, heightMax );
            break;

        default:
            this.renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer ( widthMax, heightMax );
            break;
    } // End of switch.

autoDetectRenderer is a function, but the others are constructors - you need to add the new keyword

this.renderer = new PIXI.WebGLRenderer ( widthMax, heightMax );

Lewis has the right of it, you need to use the "new" keeyword when creating an instance of a constructor.

OK, thanks!
