Magento 2: require.js error when disabling wishlist module

Question

When I disable module Magento_Wishlist in admin (Stores->configuration->advanced->advanced) I get the following error in frontend (js console):

Uncaught Error: Script error for: addToWishlist

I cannot disable the module from CLI because of its dependencies. What can I do to get rid off the error?

I already cleaned cache, did setup:upgrade and setup:static-content:deploy

Answer 1

php bin/magento module:disable -f Magento_Wishlist to disable a module on which other modules rely on.

It has to be done first in test environment so that any break in functionality is noticed. If your stuff breaks then the only solution is to remove the blocks in xml or phtml.

Answer 2

I have same issue may be its default issue, I have solved using xml file, You have to enable wishlist module and go to your theme default.xml file and add <referenceBlock name="wishlist_sidebar" remove="true" />

Go to theme,

app/design/frontend/{Vendor}/{theme}/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/addto.phtml

comment below code manually,

<div class="product-addto-links" data-role="add-to-links">
    <?php if ($this->helper('Magento\Wishlist\Helper\Data')->isAllow()) : ?>
        <a href="#"
            class="action towishlist"
            data-post='<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $_wishlistSubmitParams; ?>'
            data-action="add-to-wishlist"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Add to Wish List') ?></span></a>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <a href="#" data-post='<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo $compareHelper->getPostDataParams($_product);?>'
        data-role="add-to-links"
        class="action tocompare"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Add to Compare') ?></span></a>
</div>

Your error are gone now.
