Error received within Google Chrome when loading Django admin page of a model with an inline model which uses smart-selects.

Steps to reproduce

Environment:

• Django 1.10.7
• Latest build django-smart-selects
• Jquery (2.2.0 / 2.2.3 / 2.2.4 / 3.3.1) (multiple versions tested)

1. Configured Django Instance as specified in the installation and configuration guides.
2. Smart Selects used on a Model, which is present as an InlineForm on another model Admin page
3. Load page

Actual behavior

Nothing. Error in Javascript prevents the code being actioned.

Expected behavior

Smart-selects should load two fields normally, and provide smart select functionality between them.

I actually removed all other Javascript references and inline javascript code from the HTML in order to check that there wasn’t a conflicting code issue, but found nothing.

The script files are loaded in the correct order, none are 404-ing:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/admin/jsi18n/"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/core.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/vendor/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/jquery.init.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/admin/RelatedObjectLookups.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/actions.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/urlify.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/prepopulate.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/vendor/xregexp/xregexp.js"></script>

 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/smart-selects/admin/js/chainedfk.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/smart-selects/admin/js/bindfields.js"></script>

 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/calendar.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/admin/DateTimeShortcuts.js"></script>

Can’t for the life of me see what’s wrong. I think the error being thrown-up might be misleading somehow? I even combined the smart-select Javascript together, so that there would be no scope issues.

Hi everybody, I think I fixed this in the js-unlinting-fixes branch. If you are still having the issue, can you try that and tell me if it works?

You should be able to install that branch using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/digi604/django-smart-selects.git@js-unlinting-fixes
