Not a bug jQuery context not available

[AspectUnk]

Affected version

2.3.0

After updating to 2.3.0, any third-party scripts using jQuery do not work. Looks like a context scope issue.

You can reproduce it by inserting a similar code into any template:

<xf:js>
    console.log("executed");
    console.log(typeof jQuery);
    console.log(typeof $);
    
    function uniq_fn()
    {
        console.log("function");
    }
</xf:js>

Bye bye jQuery​

After being part of our product since the beginning, it is now the right time to say goodbye to jQuery.

jQuery is a JavaScript library which encapsulates a great deal of native JavaScript functionality into an alternative set of functions with a liberal sprinkling of syntactic sugar.

JavaScript and browser standards have evolved significantly over the history of XenForo. At one point it would have been unfathomable to use anything else. In the not too distant past, jQuery was practically essential for even being able to find a specific element with a specific class...

Alright, but why is the function unavailable after definition

 

[Jeremy P]

Inline JS is wrapped in an event handler so the function definition is scoped. You can assign it to the global scope if you need to.
