ScriptRegistrar looking for JQuery

[Brian Mains]

Hello,

I'm getting an error: Specified file does not exist: "~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js".

I don't store the jquery script there, and don't want to.  Why is telerik looking for jquery here, and how can I change the path to look at the path in my application.

Thanks.

Hi Brian Mains,

Our UI components depend on jQuery so by default the ScriptRegistrar is looking for it in its default location specified by the Mvc Application project template. You can do two things:

1. Disable the automatic registration of jQuery:
   <%= Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().jQuery(false) %>
2. Change the location where jquery is to be found:
   <%= Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().DefaultGroup(group => group.DefaultPath("~/Location"))%>

OK, thanks.  In the second path, would that throw off anything else?  What I mean is that in my app, I use the folder structure

Content
    Scripts
         JQuery

And so I break out my scripts by source.  If other scripts are involved, I may put them in another folder, so I wasn't sure if specifying the default location would affect something else....

Thanks.

Hello Brian Mains,

Setting the default location should break anything else as far as I understand your question.

Hey,

I assume the default group will also affect how it finds the telerik scripts.... I copied the telerik scripts into my application in ~/Scripts/Telerik, and set the default group to:

<%= Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().jQuery(false).DefaultGroup((asset) =>
        {
            asset.DefaultPath("~/Scripts/Telerik");
        }) %>

But this doesn't work; it still looks for ~/Scripts/telerik.common.js.

Why?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured it out.  It's the webAssetDefaultSettings component, which has the ScriptFilesPath and StyleSheetFilesPath properties.

Hello Brian Mains,

I think we have a bug in the defaualt location. For time being please use the WebAssetDefaultSetting that you mention, we will be soon releasing a patch which should fix this issue.

I was wondering if the bug already been fixed. If yes, how can I get the fix as I dont see any recent builds. thanks.

Hi Kaleem Khan,

Yes, this has been fixed in the Service Pack1 which we have releasaed few days ago. I think it is already available in our client  download section.

Sorry to kick this thread, but I'm now seeing the error:

Specified file does not exist: "~/scripts/Telerik/jquery.validate.js".

We haven't seen it before as we are only now introducing editing to our grids.

We have the telerik js files in a separate directory to other js libraries, and so have already had to disable jQuery. This has worked for the jQuery script, but not for the jquery validate file (we also have this in a separate directory).

@(Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()
    .DefaultGroup(group => group.DefaultPath("~/scripts/Telerik/"))
    .jQuery(false)
    .jQueryValidation(false)
)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi Edward,

I am not able to reproduce the described issue, no matter whether I set .jQueryValidation(false) or .jQueryValidation(true).

The exception occurs *only* if  jQueryValidation is set to true and the validation script file is not in ~/scripts/Telerik/.

You can send us a simple runnable demo if the problem persists.

Best wishes,

Please accept my apologies.

This does indeed work  - the script registrar code that I was changing was the wrong block of code.

We have now cleaned up our project to ensure we are calling the script registrar once in a layout file.

Thanks for your response.

I changed to default path of all the js file following your recommendation but I still got 404 error even though I also got 200 OK message by Fiddler.
Here is my layout.cshtml file to call js files.

 @Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().jQuery(true)
     @Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().DefaultGroup(group => group
                    .Add("http://aspnet-scripts.telerikstatic.com/mvcz/2012.2.607/telerik.common.min.js")
                    .Add("http://aspnet-scripts.telerikstatic.com/mvcz/2012.2.607/telerik.textbox.min.js")
                    .Add("http://aspnet-scripts.telerikstatic.com/mvcz/2012.2.607/telerik.calendar.min.js")
            )
    
But I got both 200 and 404, which is twice of message found from Fiddler.

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost:30320/VGIWeb/Scripts/2012.2.607/telerik.common.min.js"

teleri....min.js

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost:30320/VGIWeb/Scripts/2012.2.607/telerik.textbox.min.js"

My question is why I got this errors even though I turn off the default registration of all the js files from Telerik's 2012.2.607 folder locally? why still try to load local js files after jQuery(false)? I have only one location to set @Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar() in my Orchard project. Thanks.

Found a solution by:

<%= Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar()

                 .DefaultGroup(group => group.DefaultPath("~/Content/Js")) %>

I changed default location of js files and works fine now.
