jQuery update in uPortal core

[Jackson, Allan]

I was wondering if there’s an established process for updating jQuery in the core uPortal project. There’s a bug in 1.11 that prevents many of our custom portlets from running correctly, and it’s fixed in 1.12 (https://github.com/jquery/jquery-migrate/issues/84). For the time being, I’ve overlaid the skin file where jQuery is imported and updated it to version 1.12.4, but long-term I’d really rather not overlay that file at all.

 

I considered just doing a pull-request with the newer jQuery and jQuery-migrate, but I didn’t know if there was any other process in place or some specific reason why it hadn’t been updated already. In my (brief) testing, I didn’t see any issues with the update, and 1.12 is not supposed to contain any breaking changes anyway.

 

Thanks,

Allan

Hey Allan!

This would be good to get patched.

There was some previous interest in updating jQuery 1.12, even a PR, but the PR is stalled pending an answer on an ICLA question. https://github.com/Jasig/resource-server/pull/78

Either a fresh PR or a resolution on the pending PR would be a good way to get this resolved.

Best Regards,

Christian Murphy
