Uncaught TypeError: t is not a constructor

See original GitHub issue

Bug description

image

For some reason Tippy causes this error in console. This does not appear every time, perhaps every 1 out of 4 times I visit my site. Not entirely sure what it’s caused by but just looking for a solution.

Reproduction

It is currently being used like this.

$.getScript('https://unpkg.com/popper.js');
$.getScript('https://unpkg.com/tippy.js', function() {
	tippy(".allTabsList", {
		placement: 'right',
		boundary: document.getElementById('page-wrapper'),
		touch: false,
		theme: 'bbf'
	})
});

Yeah my bad, new to JS. This seemed to fix it.

$.getScript('https://unpkg.com/popper.js@1', function() {
	$.getScript('https://unpkg.com/tippy.js@4', function() {
		tippy(".allTabsList", {
			placement: 'right',
			boundary: document.getElementById('page-wrapper'),
			touch: false,
			theme: 'bbf'
		});
	});
});

Don’t you need to resolve the promise in the $.getScript callback?
