Topic: Uncaught ReferenceError: bsCustomFileInput is not defined, MDB Pro 4.8.7
The Question version dropdown has not been updated. This is for MDB Pro 4.8.7, not 4.8.5!
Upgraded to MDB Pro 4.8.7 and received this error in the Console -
mdb.min.js:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: bsCustomFileInput is not defined at HTMLDocument. (mdb.min.js:1) (anonymous) @ mdb.min.js:1
We use Webpack 4 if that makes a difference.
Hi,
Could you explain more precisely at which component of our documentation this error occurs? So that I can recreate your problem and help you.
Best,
Adam
Thanks for the reply. It is not related to a specific component, but the general application. To recreate this problem, create a simple application with JS and CSS, and reference any component such as the datepicker. User Webpack 4 to generate the compiled JS and CSS. The moment you run the app you will run into the issue that I have
We created a sample code to demo this problem here. This was created in VS2019 and you probably need the IDE to clone this -

Hi,
Maybe try to add bsCustomFileInput = require('bs-custom-file-input'); in bootstrap.js file or toastr = require('toastr.js');to bootstrap.js
Best,
Adam
Tried the recommended solution to add bsCustomFileInput = require('bs-custom-file-input'); in bootstrap.js file and got error during compile. Frankly I doubt this will work at all. Changing bootstrap.js is just such an uncommon solution...
This is getting frustrating. This bug has been around for quite a few patch and minor version upgrade, and we cannot upgrade because of this error and we have reported it multiple times. Please look at it or we won't be able to continue to use MDB anymore.

Hi, I already have a repository out there as an example. It looks to me that MDB version 4.8.x is no longer compatible with Webpack. This outstanding issue has been around for months now. Look at them here - https://github.com/mdbootstrap/bootstrap-material-design/issues/245 https://github.com/mdbootstrap/bootstrap-material-design/issues/236 https://mdbootstrap.com/support/jquery/bscustomfileinput-is-not-defined/ Any idea when this will be fixed?

We are currently fixing such type of issues. This could take about a month but after this refactoring process, we plan to achieve this type of bugs disappears. We know that our package is used in all sort of development environments and we want to make it easier to use for everyone. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I want to assure you that this issue is not forgotten.
