Magento 2: Form Validator is not a function

Question

I am trying to use the new Magento 2 version and I have discovered that the form validator doesn't work as well.

When I try to add a product in the amdinistration panel I get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: $.validator.validateSingleElement is not a function

I have seen the requirejs-config.js and I can see the form validator. So why this happens?

The error seems to me clear but it's not so clear the solution for me. How have I to solve it?

thanks

I'm now running into the same problem, since I updated to 2.1. Before I also had this issue which I solved with that same fix. After that I saw the same error you're mentioning and it boiled down to being a local browser cache problem. So to fix it, try emptying your own browser cache. If that doesn't do the trick, first make sure you've deleted the magento cache and rebuild/recompile everything and try again. At least "it works on my machine".
