Hi!

Trying to run a .NET Core 2.0 Web App with Syncfusion J2 Controls (Grid/Schedule etc.) and keep getting the following error only in Internet Explorer (IE 11):

"Unhandled exception at line 1, column 437301 in https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/dist/ej2.min.js
0x800a1391 - JavaScript runtime error: 'Promise' is undefined"

The same app runs fine in Chrome and Edge.

Thanks

Sarosh

Hi Sarosh,

We suspect that you haven’t referred the ES6 Promise polyfill script in your html page which cause this issue in IE11 browser. We suggest you to use ES6 Promise polyfill to overcome the error stated [‘'Promise' is undefined’] in IE11 browser.

Kindly follow the below link for further details on IE11 Browser compatibility.

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnet/documentation/base/browser.html?syntax=tag

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Hi!

The link simply tells you that you need "ES6 Promise" for IE11 but does not show how to do it!

Here is some code that I added into "_Layout.cshtml" near the bottom which seems to fix the issue.

....

asp-fallback-src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]">

</script>

asp-fallback-src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]">

</script>

<ejs-scripts></ejs-scripts>

@RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)

.......

This may help someone with the same issues.

Hi Sarosh,

Thanks for your update.

We have already logged a Knowledge base documentation for IE 11 promise support and this will be refreshed within our Essential Studio Volume 2, 2018 release.

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

I am receiving the same error due to using IE 11.

I am using Syncfusion.EJ2.MVC5.16.2.0.41 and Syncfusion.EJ2.JavaScript.16.2.0.41. Do you have a fix for this yet? I am not able to use other JavaScript libraries besides JQuery and what you put out, so the fix by Sarosh will not work for me.

Also your link (https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnet/documentation/base/browser.html?syntax=tag ) does not work on this page.

Thanks!

SU Sridurgha Uthayakumaran Syncfusion Team July 12, 2018 11:31 AM UTC

Hi William,

We suggest you to add ES6 Promise polyfill script in your Layout.cshtml page. Please find the below code snippet for further reference.

<body>

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")

@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

@Html.EJS().ScriptManager()

</body>

For your convenience we have created a sample to render Grid component and also we have added ES6 Promise polyfill script in _Layout.cshtml page and the same can be referred from the below link.

Sample Link: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/136797/ze/MVCDemo1072120111.zip

Moreover, we have separated our documentation site for ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET MVC. Please find the below documentation sites for further details.

ASP.NET Core Documentation Link: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetcore/documentation/base/browser.html

ASP.NET MVC Documentation Link: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetmvc/documentation/base/browser.html

Hi Jayakumar ,

the error occur with Grid component. If you add a Grid in your sample the error "Promise is undefined" appear.

I have a ASP.Net Mvc project with last EJ 2 (17.3500.0.30) download from nuget .

thanks

Hi Paolo,

A polyfill is a piece of code (usually JavaScript on the Web) used to provide modern functionality on older browsers that do not natively support it. It was a very common issue and it was not related to Syncfusion. IE 11 does not having support to handle promise function. If you add the following tag the JavaScript will execute without any errors.

Hi, I'm also have this problem with Ej2 Nuget version 17.3. I have added the polyfill.min.js script, but am getting the following when using IE. Chrome is working. This is in a new empty MVC5 application. Thanks.

I've tried to find any difference in your application and mine, but mine will not show the grid in IE. I'm attached the source code, along with this error message.

Hello. You can reproduce this problem by removing the column definitions from the grid.

For example, this will cause the error:

@Html.EJS().Grid("Grid").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.DataSource).Render()

This will work fine:

@Html.EJS().Grid("Grid").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.DataSource).Columns(col =>

{

col.Field("Col1").HeaderText("Col1").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Width("120").Add();

col.Field("Col2").HeaderText("Col2").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Width("120").Add();

col.Field("Col3").HeaderText("Col3").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Width("120").Add();

}).Render()
