This error will also be reported if requests to relevant third-party domains such as braintree-api.com or pay.google.com are being blocked by, for example, a browser privacy addon.

In my case, it was a browser addon that I had not yet disabled for my local development site which caused a few minutes of head scratching.

for the posterity of the issue, just waned to report back for others that we confirmed the root cause of this was an (unintentional) double-invocations of window.braintree.client(...) functional itself.. When we corrected our code not to double invoke that function, the problem went away. As explained above, symptom did not seem to manifest in Production, only in the phantomjs (with capybara/rspec) test environment.

Good to close as this was from our own refactor.

other answers (was not our issue) indicate this error might show up for an SSL problem
