I am trying to run my first SignalR v2 project but with no luck, $.connection is undefined.
Here is the error from web console:
- Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'chatHub' of undefined (anonymous function)
- k
- l.fireWith
- p.extend.ready
- D
My hub:
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR;
namespace InstantMessage
{
public class ChatHub : Hub
{
public void Hello()
{
Clients.All.hello();
}
}
}
Startup.cs
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;
[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(InstantMessage.Startup))]
namespace InstantMessage
{
public class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
app.MapSignalR();
}
}
}

It seems like the js code in /signalr/hubs is correct, chathub is there and the autogeneration of the file works fine.
$.hubConnection.prototype.createHubProxies = function () {
var proxies = {};
this.starting(function () {
// Register the hub proxies as subscribed
// (instance, shouldSubscribe)
registerHubProxies(proxies, true);
this._registerSubscribedHubs();
}).disconnected(function () {
// Unsubscribe all hub proxies when we "disconnect". This is to ensure that we do not re-add functional call backs.
// (instance, shouldSubscribe)
registerHubProxies(proxies, false);
});
proxies.chatHub = this.createHubProxy('chatHub');
proxies.chatHub.client = { };
proxies.chatHub.server = {
hello: function () {
return proxies.chatHub.invoke.apply(proxies.chatHub, $.merge(["Hello"], $.makeArray(arguments)));
}
};
return proxies;
};
Should also mention that I installed Signalr from nuget and I am using VS2012.
