Cannot load api via jquery getScript()

[redtopia]

Expected Behaviour

Use jquery getScript() to load the API at run time when needed, the script is loaded and the adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready event is fired.

Actual Behaviour

An unhandled javascript exception occurs: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'src') at loadSDKScript

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

The following fiddle fixes the issue by loading the script with vanilla javascript
