Wp-calypso: DevDocs: Design page fails to load on IE11

Created on 29 Sep 2016  路  8Comments  路  Source: Automattic/wp-calypso

Steps to reproduce

  1. Using IE11, open URL: https://wpcalypso.wordpress.com/devdocs
  2. Click the "UI Components" link

    What I expected

To see the design components

What happened instead

A blank screen is displayed, with the following console error:
Unable to get property 'replace' of undefined or null reference

The last time I can verify that it worked was two days ago, September 27th, the last time the cross-browser visual diff tests were run. My hunch is that there's a single component that's breaking it, but #7866 also went in two days ago with sweeping changes to the devdocs structures. It's likely a combination - a component or two that's breaking things, but not necessarily because they changed in the last two days, since the system around them changed.

DevDocs [Status] Stale [Type] Bug

All 8 comments

My best guess in limited investigation time is that it's tied to https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/blob/master/client/devdocs/docs-example/util.js#L7

Thanks @hoverduck. Working on this following your research.

Fixed by #8370

8370 fixed the root problem, with the page not loading at all, but there are still a couple components that aren't appearing correctly. I was planning on writing a new issue to track them, but instead decided to just re-open this one for simplicity.

The two components I see a problem with are Tooltip and Popover, which both appear without titles listed:

CC @retrofox ^ see note about two components missing titles still.

I'll take a look asap. Thanks @lancewillett for the ping and I'm sorry @hoverduck for the delay.

@retrofox any chance you've had time to take a look at this? It's affecting the new Banner component as well https://wpcalypso.wordpress.com/devdocs/design/banner

This issue has been marked as stale because it hasn't been updated in a while. It will be closed in a week.
If you would like it to remain open, can you please you comment below and see what you can do to get things moving with this issue?
Thanks! 馃檹
