Uncaught ReferenceError: CQ is not defined

[maheraj]

Hi there,

I am upgraded from AEM 6.0 to  AEM 6.2. There was some changes required and I have done those. Everything was fine. Recently I have upgraded CFP8. After that I am getting Uncaught ReferenceError: CQ is not defined in browser console in every page. I am getting this error in both author and publish instance. Here is the QA publish server of my application: Cheap Rental Cars and Car Rental Deals Worldwide - Fox Rent A Car.​

Can you please help me to resolve this issue?

Here is my current instance version:

Adobe Experience Manager, Version 6.2.0.SP1-CFP8

Here is the browser console error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: CQ is not defined

     at main.js:97

Make sure cq.widgets is added as dependency in your client lib.

dependencies

String[]

cq.widgets

[maheraj]

This is the path of my client libs folder this my my client lib folder: /etc/designs/dotcom/clientlibs_base . And I have added the dependencies. Still issue is there.

[abhishekagg19]

Error is reported from main.js (loaded on top of the page)

And clientlibs_base.js is loaded at the end of the page. You might need to look into ordering of the client libraries in which they are included in the page.

I have compared 6.0 vs 6.2. Order is same. It was working in 6.2 before installing CFP8.

I ahve checked with internal ppl to see if this is a known issue.

[smacdonald2008]

By the way - nice site. If you ever want to contribute some community code that help the AEM DEV community - let us know.

[maheraj]

I need to resolve this issue. This issue is blocking my next release. If you can help me on this it will be great. Thank you.

Yes, I shall be glad to contribute some community code. Thank for the complement.

[smacdonald2008]

I have never seen this issue nor do we have any webinars or task-based doc that i can point you to in order to resolve this.

However - there is a related thread here: cq5 - Uncaught ReferenceError: CQ is not defined - Stack Overflow

If this does not resolve it and you do not hear back from a community member - i strongly recommend opening a ticket as there may be a bug somewhere.

[maheraj]

I have tried this solution already. Thank you for your suggestion. I am going to file a ticket in Day Care as I have very limited time to resolve this. Thanks again.

Hi venc49793627,

No I have not found the solution. I have created one day care ticket. But Adobe was not able to find the reason as well. Any way I shall let you know if I can figure out this. Please let me know if you find anything as well. Thanks

Hi maheraj​

issue seems to be with new image component being added after CFP8 package. new clientlibs folder under /libs/wcm/foundation/components/images. to fix our issue, i commented image.js in js.txt file. now CQ error is gone. but i do noticed form submission not working on IOS 11 devices. trying to see what causing issue with IOS11.

let me know if this helps.

[keithb41576569]

We have the same issue in our environment since installing CFP9.  I just created a daycare ticket also.

[Bharath_valse]

To fix this, you can add cq.shared dependency on "/etc/clientlibs/foundation/main" and it will work fine

[suhashankare]

This Solution worked on, 6.4 instance, however this issues was with dispatcher which is resolve now, but at the first shot adding dependencies 'CQ.Shared ' worked for me on 6.4 Instance

Hi Rushikesavareddy,

Did you get any solution to the mentioned issue "use is not defined" ?

Can this be corrected by adding any dependency as we resolved the "CQ is not defined" error by adding cq:widget as dependency?

[bernardb36]

Hi suhashankare,

What was the issue you had with the dispatcher?

Thanks in advance!

[以前のコミュニティメンバー]

Hi,

I got the solution of the issue, just change the use js name and its reference, like in my case js name was caseStudy.js so I changed it to caseStudyJS.js and also its reference and it worked.

[brianw48577253]

gauravm29742313 ' s solution worked for me, but I almost skipped over it because I didn't understand.

Make sure your js file does not match the same of the component folder it sits in.

for example, I changed:
.../blank-page/blank-page.js

to

.../blank-page/blankPage.js
