Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'liferay-form' of undefined

0
votes

I have a web app in Spring MVC and would like to use this web app as a portlet in Liferay. I created portlet controller class, set web.xml, portlet.xml, liferay-portlet.xml and other files. When I add portlet to Liferay I get error in browser console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'liferay-form' of undefined

in barebone.jsp file

I use Liferay 6.2 with Tomcat and didn't notice any errors in server log files.

I have no idea how should I find where is the problem and don't know what is barebone.jsp file.

From the first glance, it looks like your web-app's javascript has conflicts with that of Liferay's. As you can see the browser complains 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'liferay-form' of undefined'. This means as soon as you add your portlet on a page, it screws up Liferay's javascript. I would try removing references to all the js files from the jsp, and add them one by one to see which one has conflicts, and then resolve them.

JFYI, liferay-form could be referenced from one of these places: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=liferay-form, but you can't really figure out your culprit from these. My guess would be 'end.jsp', but I am not sure.

First of all I would check all required dependencies for your portlet, for example these required to use liferay taglib:

 <dependency>
       <groupId>com.liferay.portal</groupId>
       <artifactId>util-taglib</artifactId>
       <version>${liferay.version}</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
 </dependency>

From other hand make sure your portlet anatomy is equals as one providen in official sites:

https://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/development/-/ai/liferay-plugin-types-to-develop-with-maven https://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/development/-/ai/anatomy-of-a-portl-4

For example you haven't mentioned about liferay-display.xml If this won't solve your problem, provide your portlet sources (configuration files, and jsp file throwing error are enough)
