@pateljannat do you know what is happening? How to resolve this?

[anandology]

Upgraded to latest version of frappe, community and mon_school. The issue is still there.

[pateljannat]

On inspection I found this on the console

It points to function get_page_to_show() and line 70 from workspace.js. On checking the source from console below is the function we see.

But this is the code from 3 months ago. Frappe had a workspace refactor 3 months ago and this is how the function looks now.

Also, there was no request that was failing, just this js thats throwing an error in the console.

So for some reason the workspace code on the website is not up to date.

Since workspace.js is in public folder it gets compiled under desk.js when we build assets. Can you please check if the assets for frappe on mon school are getting compiled properly?

Thanks @pateljannat. I ran build again and that seems to have resolved the issue.
