csvRequest: "data" returns error

Video: 5:48

I have opened/launched csvReqest.html; opened developer tools and typed "data" into console (as done in video), however it returns Uncaught ReferenceError: data not defined....

This could be an issue with workspaces. But I am at a loss to resolve this.

A little late, but the reason data returns error is due to the debugger not stopping at first run once the page is previewed. If you reload the csvRequest.html page (CTRL-R), a prompt will pop up the say "Paused in Debugger". Another thing to note that, unless the DevTools are open (for Chrome) the debugger will never stop.
