[Resolved] Toolset not defined – Conflict with Visual Composer

I am getting a javascript error with the latest versions of views.
I did a plugin conflict test and the result was that Visual Composer was causing this conflict.

This is what is output in the console:

    backend_editor.js?ver=1510204931:62 Uncaught ReferenceError: Toolset is not defined
    at ToolsetCommon.UserEditor.VisualComposerEditor.self.init (backend_editor.js?ver=1510204931:62)
    at new ToolsetCommon.UserEditor.VisualComposerEditor (backend_editor.js?ver=1510204931:67)
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (backend_editor.js?ver=1510204931:72)
    at i (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,plupload&ver=4.8.3:2)
    at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,plupload&ver=4.8.3:2)
    at Function.ready (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,plupload&ver=4.8.3:2)
    at HTMLDocument.K (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,plupload&ver=4.8.3:2)`

The issue manifests on the backend and prevents me from editing menus and doing anything that requires the use of accordeons in the WP-Admin side.

I can grant access to a test instance, but as this runs in a multisite environment, I cannot grant FTP access or direct access to the database.

Just tested on a blank site, and the culprit is the Views plugin. I had another ticket but it got closed out on me before I could reply. I can provide access to that site so that you can view the issue first hand.

The error when using Visual Composer and Views was different, however the combination causing this error is:

WooCommerce
Visual Composer
Views
(types also enabled but not part of the issue)

Views + Visual Composer throws the following error in the console:

Uncaught ReferenceError: Toolset is not defined
    at ToolsetCommon.UserEditor.VisualComposerEditor.self.init (backend_editor.js?ver=2.5.3:62)
    at new ToolsetCommon.UserEditor.VisualComposerEditor (backend_editor.js?ver=2.5.3:67)
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (backend_editor.js?ver=2.5.3:72)
    at i (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils&ver=4.8.3:2)
    at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils&ver=4.8.3:2)
    at Function.ready (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils&ver=4.8.3:2)
    at HTMLDocument.K (load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils&ver=4.8.3:2)

Add woocommerce to the mix and you get the error that I mentioned in the first post, along with elements of the wp-admin breaking.

Just did a test on a completely blank MAMP based install.

WP 2.8.3
Twentyseventeen as a theme
Woocommerce 3.2.3
Toolset Types 2.2.1.9
Toolset Views 2.5
WPBakery Page Builder 5.4.2 (Formerly Visual Composer)

PHP 7

Please let me know when I can expect a fix for this

Hi Adrian

Thanks for elaborating the set-up required.

I'm going to create a test site now to reproduce and then I'll get back to you.

[Nigel]

Hi Adrian

I reproduced the problem (you only need to activate WPBakery and Views, nothing else).

I have reported the error and am escalating this thread and will report back as soon as I hear any news.

Thanks for your patience.

[Nigel]

Adrian, it's not clear from the title, but this is the same issue as described in the following errata: https://toolset.com/errata/betheme-options-page-is-not-working-when-views-2-5-0-is-activated/

Can you please apply the patch as described on that page?

You may need to apply it to each Toolset plugin you have installed, not just Views.

[Adrian]

Still getting the error, even with the patch.

[Adrian]

Ok all set. I had to apply it to the recently updated Types plugin. I had thought the patch would already be included.
