script onLoad is not triggered

The onLoad event handler isn’t triggered for a script element

<script src="https://..." async defer onLoad={() => console.log(1)} />

(I tried with onload as well)

The same problem here. Did someone found a solution?

@BiosBoy - in my case, which could be different from ^ his and yours, it was solved by writing the script i wanted executed onLoad as a string of Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript" src={'/widget.js'}
  onLoad={`console.log('HAAEHHHAHHEHHHA')`}
></script>

Here i was including a script in the head of the page by including this element within a react-helmet <Helmet> tag.

These did NOT work as desired, that is, only running the onLoad code once, after the javascript file has been loaded:

<script type="text/javascript" src={'/widget.js'}
  onLoad={console.log('HAAEHHHAHHEHHHA')}  { /* runs many times, as the page is re-rendered */ }
></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src={'/widget.js'}
  onLoad={() => console.log('HAAEHHHAHHEHHHA')}  { /* original asker's solution, never ran for me */ }
></script>
