ReferenceError: Parse is not defined

javascript jquery parse-platform

I'm sorry, I have no experience with Cordova, but in general I've seen problems like these being caused by live reloading of files or by asynchronous loading, which could be caused by cordova/gulp/nodejs.

Maybe you should use a require statement as shown on the Parse quick start guide: var Parse = require('parse');

When I try your html and javascript in jsfiddle it just works, so it should have something to do with the order of loading js files in your local "webserver".

I get this error with a Parse.com JS App:

ReferenceError: Parse is not defined.

I really don't know why. Everything looks good to me. The files are linked correctly; I've checked this a few times. Is it not true, that I have to put my own JS right below Parse and it should work? This is what I've read here: Github Project I use Chrome with the ripple extension. I serve the app via cordova serve

Any help much appreciated!

Here is index.html:

And here the JS file.

$(document).ready(function () {
    Parse.initialize("", "");

    var Ad = Parse.Object.extend("Ads");
    function getPosts() {
        var query = new Parse.Query(Ad);
        query.find({
            success: function (results) {
                console.log("hello");
                var output = "";

                for (var i in results) {
                    var name = results[i].get("location");

                    if (name == 10) {
                        output += "<img src = '" + imageurl + "' class='media-object' height='60' width='100'>"
                    }
                }

                $("#adad").html(output);
                console.log(output);
            },
            error: function (error) {
                console.log("Query error:" + error.message);
            }
        });
    }
    getPosts();
});

I found the Solution now... There was a strange error in ripple. The App works well in Chrome DevTools. Even the JS wasn't loaded in ripple (tested with a console.log). Have a good Day and thanks for your time!
