Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'helpers' of undefined

I'm getting the following error, my code is based on the basic example
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'helpers' of undefined

As in the other issue, in order to help I'd have to see your code.

[AlmogRnD]

Same code as the last ticket but I just tried it with a collection - Organizations

[alethes]

It's probably because there's no template called "Organizations". There are two solutions:

1. Changing the name of the template containing {{> pages}} and {{> pagesNav}} to "Organizations"
2. Passing the "templateName" option to the Meteor.Pagination constructor:

Pages = new Meteor.Pagination({
  templateName: "organizationUsers",
  ...
});

seems like the order of how your define your package matters, inside my package.js, i put the common file I used to call new Meteor.Pagination last, so the depended Template(where I call {{> pages}} ... could be loaded before Pages.coffee runs and it works :D

this.Pages = new Meteor.Pagination({
templateName: "yourTemplateName",
...
});

api.add_files([
'lib/common/pagination/common.js'
], ['client', 'server']);

I got here due to the same issue. What @alethes said solved the problem for me. Just wanted to point out that the documentation (meaning, the README.md file) instructs to use

 this.Pages = new Meteor.Pagination("collection-name", {
  itemTemplate : "myItemTemplate"
})

This crashed in my code (iron router could not find the routes and the helpers couldn't be found either). Everything got fixed by using

 this.Pages = new Meteor.Pagination("collection-name", {
  templateName: "myItemTemplate"
})

Should the README.md be corrected or is there something else I don't understand going on when passing the template name to the pagination constructor?

I am using v1.8.4 and also got this Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'helpers' of undefined

I am using iron-router and have already provided the routerTemplate and itemTemplate settings

this.Pages = new Meteor.Pagination(Posts, {
  router: "iron-router",
  homeRoute: "/",
  route: "/",
  routerTemplate: "postsList",
  routerLayout: "layout",
  itemTemplate: "postItem"
});

[alethes]

Try using templateName instead of routerTemplate.

[metalik]

Got blank page when using templateName instead of routerTemplate
However, it works when I have specified both templateName and routerTemplate

[valorloff]

prodPages = new Meteor.Pagination('Products', {

  router: "iron-router",
  homeRoute: "/lastupdates",
  route: "/lastupdates",
  templateName: "adminLastUpdates",
  routerLayout: "adminNav",
  itemTemplate: 'adminProduct',
  sort: {'lastmod': -1}
  });

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'renderFunction' of undefined

[valorloff]

Pages = new Meteor.Pagination('Products', {
  router: 'iron-router',
  route: '/lastupdates/',
  routerTemplate: 'adminLastUpdates',
  templateName:   'adminLastUpdates',
  routerLayout: "adminNav",
  itemTemplate: 'adminProduct',
  sort: {'lastmod': -1}
  });

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'renderFunction' of undefined
