Hi guys,

Sometimes my site gets an error:

This error began to appear yesterday. Could you please help with it? I really can't get this error manually.

Thank you

Hey, I think this is a bug introduced in the lastest underscore. Try with version 1.4.

Hi, SBoudrias I used version 1.5.1. What the latest version do you mean, 1.5.2 ?

[SBoudrias]

I just vaguely remember some people having a similar issue when switching from 1.4 to 1.5 (not properly a bug, mostly a breaking change in the way underscore handled things).

I'm just suggesting you to try your app with Underscore 1.4, if it works, then you can walk up your bug from there.

Hi @suneq, can you post a small jsfiddle example showing the code that causes this problem? Do you have pushState enabled or disabled?

You can join the IRC channel and we'll try and help you out there.

Hi, dear akre54! My app is large, so I can post only initializing code

app: {
    firstHash: location.hash,

    defaultHash: 'dashboard',

    init: function (Router) {

        location.hash = '';
        Backbone.history.start();
        this.router = new Router();
        // something code
        this.router.navigate(this.firstHash || this.defaultHash, {trigger: true})
    }
}

Thank you!

If you can post a small sample of the problem code in a runnable, testable jsfiddle we can help you that way. Unfortunately that's not quite enough information to go on.
