CQ.WCM.isSidekickReady() not working

Question

I am trying to add some custom handling to the Sidekick and I am following this example: http://adobecms.blogspot.ca/2014/04/sidekick-customization.html

I've included this code in my component.jsp:

<script> function checkSidekickStatus() { if (CQ.WCM.isSidekickReady()) { // do stuff clearTimeout(timeout); } } var timeout = setInterval(checkSidekickStatus, 1000); </script>

But, it never gets past the "CQ.WCM.isSidekickReady()" check, even though the Sidekick is clearly ready. Any suggestions?

If it is in the jsp, shouldn't it run when I add my component to the page? What I would like, in the end,is to have an EditConfig listener on "afterinsert" which calls a method to disable some buttons on the Sidekick after inserting this component to a page.

function checkSidekickStatus() {     if (CQ.WCM.isSidekickReady()) {     console.log("I'm ready"); clearTimeout(timeout);     } } var timeout = setInterval(checkSidekickStatus, 1000);

But I don't get my console log message either. If it is in the jsp, shouldn't it run when I add my component to the page?
