Re: Uncaught TypeError: Dropbox.Dropbox is not a constructor
Hi! This error reappeared again!
Found the way to reproduce and the issue!
So, the problem happens if the following library is included after Dropbox-sdk.min.js:
https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js
Please see example here! https://jsfiddle.net/y9dm8oew/
Run it and open the console to see the error.
Hi skezh1,
Yes, of course, it's obvious. Both scripts share the same namespace and put there the same name - the last wins. 🙋 That's where your issue is coming from.
By the way you're not using neither Embedder, Saver, or something like... hy at all you need the second script? 🧐 Just to make your life difficult? 😁
A workaround can be seen here if by any chance you need both scripts. 😉
Good luck.
Thank you!
I'm using the Saver in my app. The above was just a minimal sniplet to reproduce the issue.
Question remaining is why now this started to happen?
Did the dropin library had changes to it that started to overwrite the Dropbox class instead of extending it, and if so - was the change intended and probably documentation should be updated, or is it a bug?
To be honest, I'm not aware of some recent change. Both scripts share the same name all the time, as far as I know. So when put on the same place one of them will overwrite the other always - the last wins, as I said!
Maybe you have something changed in your page: different namespaces merge, order os scripts load change, move from static to dynamic build of Saver, etc. Could be one or more of the things. You can best figure out what happened.
We are facing the same issue in our company, both Dropbox.Dropbox and Dropbox.embed is undefined, but Dropbox and embed are available on window
I tried the workaround, but then Dropbox.embed errors out with the following message:Error: appKey must be provided at o.e (dropins.js:1:24651) at new o (dropins.js:1:31456) at Dropbox.embed (dropins.js:1:36121)
the only thing that could have changed is the dropins.js file, as we serve our own copy of Dropbox-sdk.min.js from cdnjs.
Edit: got it to work, had to piece together the Dropbox object<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropbox.js/10.34.0/Dropbox-sdk.min.js"></script> <script> const dropbox = Dropbox; </script> <script id="dropboxjs" type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" data-app-key="..."></script> <script> Dropbox = { Dropbox, ...dropbox } </script>I just didn't want to publish my app-key here at the forum, but I did set it properly..
