Uncaught ReferenceError: Mage is not defined

Question

We are now developed a Magento store. When I open the index page and then go to the menu of Chrome and then display dev tools of chrome, I have an error Uncaught ReferenceError: Mage is not defined index:39 and the index is variable according to the page displayed with the links of the website. Anyone can help me with that matter?

Answer 1

js/mage/cookies.js

is not loading. It defines the Mage Javascript class.

See this line:

if (!window.Mage) var Mage = {};

Custom theme issues most likely. Check for a page.xml file in your custom theme and see if it's missing the include for that file. The line will look like this: <action method="addJs"><script>mage/cookies.js</script></action> People tend to override that file directly instead of making local.xml layout edits and it tends to cause problems like this. You could test temporarily turning off your theme and seeing if the issue persists.

There is a need to debug Magento problem.

1.Enable error reporting In Magento’s index.php uncomment the following:

#ini_set('display_errors', 1);

2. Turn on Magento Developer logging.

   In Magento admin System -> Configuration -> Advanced -> Developer -> Log Settings set Enabled = Yes

   This allows you to look in the Magento/var/log/* log files for any errors

3. Look at server error logs.

   On Red Hat /var/log/httpd/error_log

you can get the exact error what is missing for your setup.

To resolve this issues you need to check that in head.phtml

(app/design/frontend/default/default/template/page/html/head.phtml ) 

you have

getChildHtml() ?> after getCssJsHtml() ?>.
So it should look like:
getCssJsHtml() ?>
getChildHtml() ?>

Or you can go to page.xml file and copy the page/html_head addJS scripts from the default page.xml theme
