episode editor: podlove-admin.js: podlove_vue is not defined

[oe1rfc]

Expected behavior

The Episode editor should load without JavaScript errors and Episode infos (title, etc) should be saved when saving the Episode.

Actual behavior

The following JS initialization error is logged in the browser console and none of the fields under Podcast Episode under the Episode Block/Classic Editor saved when saving the Episode, also media assets are not scanned. We suspect that the problem occurred after the update to v3.7.0.

---

The global podlove_vue object is availaible in the console, but I assume that it's not initialized at the time when podlove-admin.js is loaded.

There is also an additional error with a GET request to wp-json/podlove/v1/shownotes when adding a new Epsiode, I suspect that this might be an aftereffect of the JS initialization problem, but I'm not entirely sure:

load-scripts.php: GET https://www.desperatehousehackers.net/wp-json/podlove/v1/shownotes?episode_id= 400 (Bad Request)
app.js?ver=3.7.0:2 could not load shownotes: Ungültige(r) Parameter: episode_id

Nice, Everything looks fine!

Thanks for the report, I'll work on a hotfix.

I haven't been able to reproduce this but I have an idea why it might happen (sometimes?). See if 3.7.1 fixes it for you, should be available in a few minutes.

Hi, thank you for the fast fix, I can confirm that the initialization problem is fixed, I guess it might have always occured for me because I disabled caching in the Chromium debug tools. The initial problem that episode settings are not saved persists, but I can actually see the values in the save POST request, this seems to be a different problem with this instance. I'm closing this issue, thank you.
