I'm trying to learn Geolocation API in javascript but the simplest lines of code do not seem to work. If i paste them in the console though, they work normally. Geolocation only works if i paste the code directly into the console, but not if I try to run it from a text editor. I use VS Code and checked all Windows settings and Firefox settings yet nothing seems to fix the problem

const geo = navigator.geolocation;

const position = ()=>{
    console.log("OK");
}

geo.getCurrentPosition(position);

Are you running it on a https server? – evolutionxbox Jun 14 '21 at 01:52
