JS Link error on SPO

Question

Hey Everyone,

Has anyone checked JS Link property under web part properties? If not please check now. It is not working. 

Maybe Microsoft broke it while updating SPO. 

This is applicable who uses JS Link property on their SP Online environment. 

Here's what happens;

I am styling the list view using JS link. Till yesterday it was working. Today it stopped. 

Why? 

It's because, it is looking for the resource on https://static.sharepointonline.com

Whaaaaaat !!!!!!!!!!eg: https://static.sharepointonline.com/bld/\_layouts/15/16.0.6008.1206/sites/devsite/siteassets/js/structuregd.js 

When I paste the full URL on JS Link text box, it truncates the domain part upon saving. 

Eg: https://devtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/devsite/siteassets/js/structuregd.js is being saved as /sites/devsite/siteassets/js/structuregd.js

Till yesterday it used to save the complete URL. 

Note: Do not edit the existing web parts that uses JS Link. Create a new page for testing.

Answer 1

Update from Microsoft Support:

"Product team might be working on SPO environment like deploying new features. That may have caused the issue. we will let product team know about this issue."

Workaround:

Use ~site token while referencing the JS file.

Eg: ~site/SiteAssets/js/structuregd.js

Answer 2

This isn't an error. You should be using the tokens anyway. I've not seen any issue and we use hundreds of jslink references.
