Initialization with jQuery -> Cannot read property 'jquery' of undefined

[Piioo]

When I add this to my initialization:

var airbrake = new airbrakeJs.Client({projectId: 1, projectKey: 'abc'});
if (window.jQuery) {
  airbrakeJs.instrumentation.jquery(airbrake, jQuery);
}

Cannot read property 'jquery' of undefined

airbrakeJs
-> Object {}

What I doing wrong?

Hi,

Most likely you did not include instrumentation/jquery.js script. For example

• https://github.com/airbrake/airbrake-js/blob/master/examples/legacy/index.html#L8
• or if you use requirejs https://github.com/airbrake/airbrake-js/blob/master/examples/requirejs/app.js#L7

Thx you right. I have installed airbrake-js with bower and Bowerfile in Ruby on Rails and sprocket was not known instrumentation/jquery.js.

I am having this problem too. Is instrumentation a modified version of jquery specific to airbrake? how come when I try to load jquery 2.1.4, it won't work. @vmihailenco

[vmihailenco]

airbrake-js jQuery instrumentation just adds some hooks to standard jQuery version - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airbrake/airbrake-js/master/src/instrumentation/jquery.coffee. It should work with 2.1.4, but I did not test it.

Okay that's what I was getting at, it sounds like this file is adding hooks, but it doesn't appear to actually just be a plain jQuery library.

I was trying to load airbrake and a standard jQuery library, without this instrumentation file.

I would recommend renaming the file jquery-hooks or something so people understand what this file is doing (naming it jquery.min.js implies it is a standard library file)

I am getting the same error, 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'jquery' of undefined'
I have checked if jQuery is not defined, it returns false.
--> typeof jQuery == 'undefined'
--> false
using jQuery returns an object`` instead the 'div element'
--> jQuery('#featured-tags__menu__tag1')
--->Object {ready: function}

[vmihailenco]

Then just don't include instrumentation/jquery.js file...

@vmihailenco I don't have instrumentation/jquery.js on the page.
