Javascript (ExtJS 4.1.1) TypeError: t is null

Question

I'm trying to display an extjs-4 tree, the backing store is filled with json from an ajax call (which appears to be successful) but the tree does not show. Instead I get an error:

TypeError: t is null    ext-all.js (line 38)

---

Edit: I'm now using ext-dev.js which gives the error: TypeError: el is null at the line:

el = el.dom || Ext.getDom(el);

---

line 38 aside I was wondering if I have made any glaring errors in my javascript...

Ext.require([
    'Ext.tree.*',
    'Ext.data.*'
]);

Ext.onReady(function() {

    Ext.define('pools', {
        extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
        fields: ['text', 'id']
    });

    var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.TreeStore', {
        autoLoad: true,
        model: 'pools',
        proxy: {
            type: 'ajax',
            url: 'get_all',
            reader: 'json'
        }
    });

    store.load();

    // create the Tree
    var tree = Ext.create('Ext.tree.Panel', {
        store: store,
        rootVisible: false,
        viewConfig: {
            plugins: [{
                ptype: 'treeviewdragdrop'
            }]
        },
        height: 350,
        width: 400,
        title: 'Directory Listing',
        renderTo: 'viewer',
        collapsible: true
    });
});

The json object that successfully returns is:

{"text": ".", "children": [{"text": "pool1", "id": "pool1", "children": [{"text": "pool1/vol01", "leaf": "true", "id": "pool1/vol01"}]}, {"text": "pool5", "id": "pool5", "children": [{"text": "pool5/vol", "leaf": "true", "id": "pool5/vol"}, {"text": "pool5/vol2", "leaf": "true", "id": "pool5/vol2"}]}]}

A stack trace using google chrome reveals:

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

I had a similar error TypeError: t() is null when migrating from javascript to typescript: I added index.tsx but forgot to delete the old index.js. The stack trace revealed that the old index.js was used. The problem went away after deleting the old index.js.

Add HTML code below to Body of page :
