error in simulator

Chris Harrington Sep 19, 2015 1:41 PM

I am getting this in the footer message log:

Script error. file: https://public.tableau.com/javascripts/api/tableauwdc-1.1.0.js line: 0

I am able to open that url in the same browser.

I changed StockQuoteConnector_final.html, which is opened by default in the simulator, to use local js files and now it works. Is this a known issue?

I think a "common issues" section in the simulator help page should be added to address issues like this.

Hello Chris, My quick guess is that you were seeing a cross domain issue. Could you have been loading the js file using https but your test html was not using https?

It was either that or a "cross-wired" issue (eg, editing the wrong .js file). If I see it again, I'll pay more attention to what I did to solve it.

Were you using Firefox browser by any chance? There's a bug in that .js file that will trigger an issue in Simulator in FF. This file is fixed locally in the SDK download and will be fixed on public.tableau.com soon.

Yes, it was in Firefox. I'll try the new .js in the SDK. Thanks.

Cool thx for confirming. Sorry about the bug. Workaround now with using local file or using a different browser. I went local file route myself as I'm a huge FF fan

I just downloaded the new SDK and I don't see there were any changes. I had downloaded it previously about 3 days ago.

The version up on public.tableau.com has lines 128-136 of:

function _receiveMessage(evnt) {
        var wdc = window._wdc;
        if (!wdc) {
            throw "No WDC registered. Did you forget to call tableau.registerConnector?";
        }
        if (!_sourceWindow) {
            _sourceWindow = evnt.source
        }
        var payloadObj = JSON.parse(event.data);

The error is on line 136. "event.data" should be "evnt.data". This line is fixed in the lib that's included in the download of the WDC SDK

Ok. I had interpreted your earlier reply as meaning there had just been a new release of the SDK download.
