Load client libs with selection button

Hi,

I have created a button for which I would like to get loaded some js from clientlibs folder.
The clientlibs folder is created with some categories andcq:ClientLibraryFolder jcr:primaryType (screenshot 1) and containing the script universaleditor.js. The button "universaleditor" has the child "items" containing the node "clientlibs" with the categories of the clientlibs folder and sling:resourceType granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/includeclientlibs (screenshot 2).
The js from the client library folder is not loading in AEM when displaying the universaleditor button.
Can you please suggest why loading of js might fail?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi @kautuk_sahni ,

yes, it is working at the end. I had 2 issues:
- missing js.txt file as suggested by @arunpatidar , thanks a lot for that

- the clientlib's category needed to be referred in the .content.xml's 

<jcr:content>

  <head>

     <clientlibs ..

tag, instead of adding it under the selection button clientlib tag (how I found it in some post it could work but it did not).
Js is loading now and I can use it for my purposes.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi @pnagy 
You are missing js.tx file where you need to add universaleditor.js path

    Hi @arunpatidar ,

    right, I re-tried with js.txt but I still miss something.
    I double check it.

    Thanks,
    Peter
