We recently pushed out an update to our JSS project and were greeted with one of those “Well that’s fun, we’ve never seen that error before” moments. Here’s the entire text of the YSOD, for SEO purposes 😉 [NodeInvocationException: globalThis is not defined ReferenceError: globalThis is not defined at react.Component.react.Component.LayoutServiceBase (C:\home\site\wwwroot\dist\[SNIP]\server.bundle.js:76193:63) at C:\home\site\wwwroot\dist\[SNIP]\server.bundle.js:80869:3 at Object.<anonymous>…

UPDATE: I totally forgot to put the source code link in here! https://github.com/RAhnemann/Container-Warmer If you’ve been around the docker block a little bit with Sitecore, you know by now that when a container is launched, it’s not really ready to do anything. It’s barely alive. In fact, Docker and k8s know this, and have a…

Our team was standing up a new instance of Sitecore XP1 10.1 and noticed that anytime you loaded Experience Profile, you got a nice error about “An error has occurred”.

We recently configured our CDN and App Gateway for a new client using Coveo. Suddenly, Coveo stopped working. Not like “Oh man this is slow and sorta funky” but more of “Oh hey, literally nothing is working.” We were not having fun. Baby Yoda was sad! Looking at Dev Tools in Firefox, pretty much every…
