Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse fmtDetailValue error

[Vaneet L. <van...@uc...>]

For some reason it works now.  Maybe it was a hidden character that went away once I recopied from another source.

I’m pretty sure I do have a dev-build of jbrowse since I’ve added plugins and done some minor modifications to the source js files.  How do I make sure I get more informative error messages?  That would be great.

Thanks,

Vaneet

You'll likely get this error if there is a problem such as a syntax error with your function in functions.conf

You didn't attach your functions.conf so hard to know but this is the likely case

Also note that you can get better error messages if you use a "dev" build of jbrowse, this will have regular function names and actual line numbers instead of mangled names and minified single line compressed bundles

Hello,

I’m getting a strange error when trying to reference a callback function to replace my dbxref field, something I’ve done many times for every other genome using the same code and syntax without fail using this line:

"fmtDetailValue_Dbxref" : "{dbxLinks}",

I also have the include statement referencing which file contains my functions added into this genome’s trackList.json file:

   "include" : "functions.conf",

Here’s the error I get when trying to click on a gene model to view its details:

Uncaught TypeError: u is not a function
    at Object.renderDetailValue (1.bundle.js:1:555217)
    at Object.renderDetailField (1.bundle.js:1:554833)
    at 1.bundle.js:1:388369
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)

    at Object._openDialog (1.bundle.js:1:286530)
    at Object.n (1.bundle.js:1:283338)

I’m not sure which ‘u’ it’s referring to, I’m just hoping one of you has seen this error before.  The strange part is if I remove the ‘include’ statement, the error remains.  If I change the ‘dbxLinks’ to anything else or any random set of letters, it still fails with the same error.  If I set it to an empty string between the double quotes it at least allows me to open the gene model details but obviously doesn’t change the dbxref field.  If I manually write a function in there instead of referencing a function in an external file, it seems to work.  I don’t understand why this time it has a problem with me referencing a callback function when I’ve used the same function and code so many times with no issue.

Thanks

Vaneet
