Converse.js: Conversejs error after migration from 3.3.4 to 4.2.0

[rheman]

Hi I used to use conversejs 3.3.4 on my website with requirejs and it worked perfectly.
Today I have decided to migrate from 3.3.4 to 4.2.0 and I get a lot of errors.

• xmpp sever: ejabberd 19
• Linux server: ubunti 18.04
• converjs 4.2.0

I get the following errors:

TypeError: this.get is not a function                   converse.js:64979:17
ERROR: request id 2.1 error 403 happened      converse.js:63317:5

too much recursion                                             converse.js:1378:5

My conversejs setting looks as followed.

```
var view_mode = elgg.data.pessek_chat.view_mode;
var user_jid = elgg.data.pessek_chat.user_jid;
var bosh_service_url = elgg.data.pessek_chat.bosh_service_url;

Did you manage to get this working?

[rheman]

No I still get the same error

[jcbrand]

There isn't enough info in your bug report to know what's going on. Do you have any plugins or customizations to Converse?

Can you post the full error traceback?

[rheman]

Hi,
I do not have any plugins and I do not have any customizations.
My firefox console display the following errors:

TypeError: this.get is not a function[Learn More] converse.js:64979:17

Bellow are two screenshots of my console.

[jcbrand]

Thanks for the additional info, should be fixed now in master.

For now, as a workaround, if you set forward_messages to false, then the problem should go away.
That option is in any case no longer necessary in most cases because the servers support message carbons.

[rheman]

Thanks a lot for your answer.
I set forward_messages to false in my settings. But one error is remaining under firefox, as you could see on the screenshot.

But under other browsers (chrome and opera) I sill get a lot of errors as you can see on the following screenshots.

Regards,

[jcbrand]

I think the Firefox error can be ignored, it's a low-level Strophe error from which it generally recovers.

I'm not sure what the other error is about...

[jcbrand]

I'm closing this ticket as a wontfix. We don't have the resources to deal with this.
