Chartjs bar dataset label not showing

Trying to compare this year vs last year on bar chart and labels for dataset "this year" & "previous year" are not showing. This thing is specially handy when comparing multiple datasets side by side so any help is greatly appreciated. By the way my chartjs version is 2.1.4

  var chartdata = {
    type: 'bar',
    data: {
      labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
      // labels: month,
      datasets: [
        {
          label: 'this year',
          backgroundColor: '#26B99A',
          data: sold1
        },
        {
          label: 'previous year',
          backgroundColor: '#03586A',
          data: sold2
        }
      ]
    }
  };

        data: {
            labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
            datasets: [
                {
                    label: 'this year',
                    backgroundColor: '#26B99A',
                    data: sold1
                },
                {
                    label: 'previous year',
                    backgroundColor: '#03586A',
                    data: sold2
                }
            ]
        },
        "options": {
            "legend": {"position": "bottom"},
            "scales": {
                "xAxes": [
                    {
                        "beginAtZero": true,
                        "ticks": {
                            "autoSkip": false
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    };

Set autoSkip for xAxis to false :

scales: {
  xAxes: [{
      beginAtZero: true,
      ticks: {
         autoSkip: false
      }
  }]
}

Check your sold1 and sold2.

console.log(sold1);
console.log(sold2);

For example this is working:

var chartdata = {
    {
        type: 'bar',
        data: {
          labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
          // labels: month,
          datasets: [
            {
              label: 'this year',
              backgroundColor: '#26B99A',
              data: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
            },
            {
              label: 'previous year',
              backgroundColor: '#03586A',
              data: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
            }
          ]
        }
    }
};



var ctx = document.getElementById('chartContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, chartdata);
