Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined at chartloader.js:3 about django-chartit

[atodorov]

So that means jQuery isn't loaded I guess.

First tell me what version of jQuery are you using, also which version of Highcharts ? chartit has been reported to work with rather old versions and I have no idea which ones of the new ones work (atm there's no easy way to test version compatibility).

If you are using fairly new versions try with older ones, especially the ones listed at the bottom of README.

If you still get the same error even with the versions from README then you have to debug the page (or provide a reproducer which we can examine publicly) and see why is that. Especially try to get a backtrace from JavaScript so we can see which parts of the code are trying to access jQuery before it is loaded.

Of course post your findings and more info here.

jQuery is being loaded because Bootstrap would've complained it were missing. jQuery version is v.3.2.1 and Highcharts is v5.0.12.

I used the versions specified in the README but the errors persists.

I do not see much. It only points to the file located in /.../site-packages/chartit/static/chartit/js/chartloader.js, accusing $ not to be defined. I don't know very well what else I could try to debug the page as you suggested. All files being called are loaded normally, as I can see in "Network" tab.

Googling your error says that you should put the references to jquery scripts first:

is by any chance jQuery loaded after chartloader.js ?

[mfgabriel92]

I expect it to be, since It's being called before anything else. I cannot see anywhere else if it really is when I access the route.

which condition do you expect to be true? That jQuery is loaded after chartloader.js? (this leads to the error IMO). Check the resulting HTML code and tell me the order in which .js files are specified in the header.
