handlebars.js Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'call'

Question

Anyone help with a problem with handlebars.js?

I'm precompiling the templates using handlesbars running on Centos 6.4. To install this I installed:

1. npm: yum -y --enablerepo=epel install npm
2. inherits first to avoid an issue: npm install -g inherits
3. then handlebars itself: npm install -g handlebars

This gives the following versions:

• [email protected] /usr/lib/node_modules/handlebars
• [email protected] ([email protected])
• [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected])

I'm using requirejs to load the following with the app:

• jQuery v1.11.0
• Underscore.js 1.6.0
• handlebars v1.3.0 (with amd)
• backbone.js 1.1.0

Does anyone have a set of version numbers that work together?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It was the version of handlebars on the server. NPM installs the latest by default and the version 2 alpha was causing the issue. Found this fix on Github (https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/issues/734):

1. npm uninstall handlebars -g
2. npm install [email protected] -g

Seems to work fine now, back to work!

(Thanks Mahesh for the pointer.)
