Global Script

[blondie63]

I've a project based on Laravel 11 and Backpack 6 working fine for many months
I have always used a chatbot (tawk.to) that I set up using the Glabal Scrips placed in ui.php

    // --------------
    // GLOBAL SCRIPTS
    // --------------

    // JS files that are loaded in all pages, using Laravel's asset() helper
    'scripts' => [
        'js/tawktASH.js',
        // 'js/example.js',
        // 'https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/vue.min.js',
        // 'https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.production.min.js',
        // 'https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.production.min.js',
    ],

After one of the latest updates made with composer update it no longer works and looking at the source of the page I see that the js/tawktASH.js module is not loaded at all and there's no error in browser console

What can it be ?
Thanks for help

Hello @blondie63,

Have you tried loading any other scripts to see if they work? Also, can you confirm if the script is available at the specified route?

Please provide more details so I can assist you further.

Cheers.

Hello @blondie63 please let me know if you had any luck finding any differences in the views or any other Backpack files. If you found no difference, did you try testing this behavior on a fresh Backpack installation?

Cheers.

Please excuse the delay..
I confirm that I have not found any differences in the Backpack files and in this application I have not made any changes but only some composer updates! But I tried to use the same .js module on a new project and it works!! What else can I look for?

Hello @blondie63

I dont know if you test in the same server, but this look like cache issue or maybe some miss setup in the production server.

If this work normal in a new updated project and there is no any diff in files, so we have not som much alternatives.

Did you try to downgrade to the last working version?

Cheers.

Hi @jcastroa87 i've a found a solution..
I create an override to vendor/backpack/theme-coreuiv2/resources/views/inc/head.blade.php adding this line:
@basset('js/tawktASH.js')

and i've commented the line in ui.php
// JS files that are loaded in all pages, using Laravel's asset() helper
'scripts' => [
//'js/tawktASH.js',
],

Do you know why it works like this?
