New Blazor Wasm project .net8 throws Could not find 'Helpers.setDotNetHelper'

[aschilr]

I created a new .net8 Blazor Wasm project and inserted only Blazor Barcode Scanner as described. Inserted the component in the Home.razor and got the following error:

crit: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Rendering.WebAssemblyRenderer[100] Unhandled exception rendering component: Could not find 'Helpers.setDotNetHelper' ('Helpers' was undefined).

I think you just need to add the following lines to wwwroot\index.html (for server side _Host.cshtml) before the closing body tag as mentioned in the doc:

<script src="_content/BlazorBarcodeScanner.ZXing.JS/BlazorBarcodeScanner.js"></script>

I have the same problem and I added those lines. I will come back if I find the cause.

Update: you also have to install the package in the server and add the script tags to your _Host.cshtml file, not your index.html in the client. This is poorly explained in the docs. (Yes this is for WASM, not server side or combined)
