Getting this strange client-side error

[baris]

Can you do this

function checkConditional(template, key, value) {
   if (!template) {
        var e = new Error('oops');
        console.log(e.stack, key, value);
   }  
   var matches = template.match(makeConditionalRegex(key)); // line 17950

And post the output.

@baris how would I go about doing that?

Appears to be this issue: gh#2466

rahilwazir created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB

closed template.match Javascript TypeError #2466

[baris]

function checkConditional(template, key, value) { is in node_modules/templates.js/lib/templates.js. Just put the extra bit of code in that function and reproduce the error and check the logs.

@baris !template didn't fire it, so I used !template.match

If !template didnt fire it what is the value of template? Do a console.log(template) to see what it is.

@baris It was caused by nodebb-widget-essentials being disabled.

Wasn't this fixed? I thought that these things failed gracefully.

[baris]

Is this with latest revision from master and latest version of templates.js (0.1.15)?

[PitaJ]

@baris

commit 9bca777 on master

templates.js version 0.1.15

[baris]

Yeah I can reproduce on latest definitely a bug.

[baris]

Should be fixed on latest.
