No javascript provider is configured

No javascript provider is configured

2.8k Views Asked by SeattleStephens At 20 August 2013 at 20:47

Update: I've isolated this error to registering the onchange event in this select. If I remove the onchange, the page renders without error, otherwise I get the No javascript provider error.

<g:select optionKey="id" optionValue="name" name="course" id="course"
   from="${com.TourneyCard.Course.list(sort:'name')}" value="${homeCourse.id}"
   onchange="${remoteFunction(controller:'foursome', action:'ajaxGetTeesJSON',
     params:'\'id=\' + escape(this.value)', 
     onSuccess:'updateTees(data);')}">
</g:select>

For various reasons I'd like to include jQuery using the resources Plugin instead of the the jQuery Plugin. It's mostly working but I have a page that will not render and is instead issuing the error No javascript provider is configured.

My ApplicationResources.groovy defines jquery:

jquery {
    resource url: 'js/jquery/jquery-1.9.1.min.js', disposition: 'head'
}

My main.gsp layout looks like this:

<head>
    <g:layoutHead/>
    <g:javascript library="jquery"/>
    <r:require module="jquerymobile"/>
    <r:layoutResources />
</head>

The page issuing the provider not configured error looks like this:

<head>
    <meta content="main" name="layout">
    <r:require modules="jqmdatebox,jqmgrid960,updateTees"/>
    ....
</head>
<body>
    ....
    <g:javascript>
        var zselect = document.getElementById('tee')
        var zopt = zselect.options[zselect.selectedIndex]
    </g:javascript>
</body>

Since you're manually setting the JQuery resource, there's no need to set:

<g:javascript library="jquery"/>

Instead, just require your module:

<r:requires module="jquery, jquerymobile"/>

EDIT

Looking at your new info, I think that your issue is with the remoteFunction method. Since it needs to know which javascript library you're using. Try adding <g:setProvider library="jquery"/> to your page.

try to put

grails.views.javascript.library = "jquery"

into Config.groovy or insert into main layout:

<g:setProvider library="jquery"/>

I just resolved the same error what was caused from a g:remoteLink tag. I found that I need to call twice. Once in the head, and the other in the footer where you should be loading js files from. I also had to add jQuery as a plugin in BuildConfig.groovy

plugins {
    runtime ":jquery:1.8.3"
    runtime ':resources:1.2'
    ...
}

My main.gsp has

  <r:require modules="app, jquery" />
  <g:setProvider library="jquery" />
  <r:layoutResources/>
  <g:layoutHead />

I have g:layoutHead last so jQuery loads before scripts that may need it.

If you are just inline some scripts you may want to look at

http://grails.org/doc/latest/ref/Tags/javascript.html

If you use this tag to render inline JavaScript code, it is recommended that you use the Resources plugin's tag to produce inline script that is included at the end of the body, or in the head if necessary - rather than inline. For more control use the Resources plugin's tag directly. -

This link was very useful and shows what steps you might need to take. https://grails.org/plugin/jquery

Edit: Using the above website I got mine to wrok by doing this:

put this in config.groovy: grails.views.javascript.library = "jquery"
put this ins buildConfig.groovy runtime "org.grails.plugins:jquery:1.11.1"
note(someone suggested another plugin and it actually broke mine)
I didn't need to do anything else (I removed the g:javascript tag completely) and it just worked.

This solution worked for me:

Add the following class (from the jquery Grails plugin) to your application

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.web.taglib.JavascriptProvider

class JQueryProvider implements JavascriptProvider {

    /**
     * doRemoteFunction creates a jQuery-AJAX-Call
     *
     * @param taglib
     * @param attrs
     * @param out
     *
     * @return the jQuery-like formatted code for an AJAX-request
     */
    def doRemoteFunction(taglib, attrs, out) {
        // Optional, onLoad
        if (attrs.onLoading) {
            out << "${attrs.onLoading};"
        }

        // Start ajax
        out << /jQuery.ajax({/

        // Method
        def method = (attrs.method ? attrs.remove('method') : 'POST')
        out << "type:'$method'"

        // Optional, synchron call
        if ("false" == attrs.asynchronous) {
            out << ",async:false"
            attrs.remove('asynchronous')
        }

        if (attrs.dataType) {
            out << ",dataType:'${attrs.remove('dataType')}'"
        }

        if (attrs.params || attrs.jsParams) {
            if (!(attrs?.params instanceof Map)) {

        else {
            attrs.params = "jQuery(this).serialize()".toString()

Register this class as the provider (for AJAX GSP tags) in Bootstrap.groovy

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.web.taglib.JavascriptTagLib

class BootStrap {

    def init = { servletContext ->    
        JavascriptTagLib.PROVIDER_MAPPINGS.jquery = JQueryProvider
    }
}

No javascript provider is configured
