How can i fix the error Uncaught ReferenceError: addEvent is not defined

Question

After changing my python and Django version I came up with the error of
Uncaught ReferenceError: addEvent is not defined.

The error took place at my DateTimeShortcuts.js file.

The code raising the error is:

addEvent(window, 'load', DateTimeShortcuts.init);
window.DateTimeShortcuts = DateTimeShortcuts;

This error prevents me for rendering correct a date widget that I am using for my Django app.

Any idea how to handle it?

Make sure that whatever script defines `addEvent` is included **before** the above script — Phil, Mar 10 '20 at 07:19

@gtopal, the main question from me: was the running command enough or you did any other steps? — wowkin2, Mar 26 '20 at 10:41
@wowkin2 it was the running command enough. Thanks for your interest — gtopal, Mar 26 '20 at 10:58

From commit into Django framework "Fixed #28536 -- Removed old JS cross-browser utilities" you can see that there were changes in that file.

Try to run command that will refresh all static files:

python manage.py collectstatic

The problem is 'addEvent' is not defined previously.

Make sure that you have the definition of 'addEvent' imported or written before this line.

Maybe you should write

window.addEventListener("load", ...
