Python style indentation parser in PEG.js

indent.pegjs

// do not use result cache, nor line and column tracking

{ var indentStack = [], indent = ""; }

start
  = INDENT? lines:( blank / line )*
    { return lines; }

line
  = SAMEDENT line:(!EOL c:. { return c; })+ EOL?
    children:( b:blank* INDENT c:( blank / line )* DEDENT { return b.concat(c); })?
    { return [line.join(""), children === "" ? [] : children]; }

blank
  = [ \t]* EOL
    { return undefined; }

EOL
  = "\r\n" / "\n" / "\r"

SAMEDENT
  = i:[ \t]* &{ return i.join("") === indent; }

INDENT
  = i:[ \t]+ &{ return i.length > indent.length; }
    { indentStack.push(indent); indent = i.join(""); pos = offset; }

DEDENT
  = { indent = indentStack.pop(); }

Tried it in PEG.j online:

Line 29, column 5: Expected "!", "$", "&", "(", ".", character class, comment, end of line, identifier, literal, or whitespace but "{" found.

Any idea what could be the problem and how to fix it? Thanx.

I was also not able to get this running. This example works well.
