Cookie Consent may cause JavaScript error

[bdukes]

Description of bug

DNN's cookie consent script uses dnn.getVar to read its options. However, it does not ensure that dnn.js is included on the page, so in scenarios where nothing else on the page requests dnn.js the functionality will fail.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use a minimal theme
2. Turn on cookie consent
3. See error

Affected version

• 10.00.00 alpha build
• 09.09.00 latest supported release

@bdukes Great one! Do you know of a workaround until it is released? How do I request dnn.js for instance?
Just adding

<script src="/js/dnn.js"></script> to the page header is not enough.

@Tychodewaard I added this to a control that was included in all of the theme controls:

<script runat="server">
Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As EventArgs)
    MyBase.OnLoad(e)
    DotNetNuke.Framework.JavaScriptLibraries.JavaScript.RegisterClientReference(Page, DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.ClientNamespaceReferences.dnn)
End Sub
</script>

Yeah, I created a work around in the past as well, involving registry of a component in the theme.
Thing is that for this particular client, I don't have FTP access and they use a commercial theme.
So, was hoping to include some script in the head of a module... Just for a temp fix because we will be upgrading before the end of the year.

I would think just including /js/dnn.js should work, maybe it needs to be included earlier than via a module header (e.g. in the page header)?

I tried <script src="/js/dnn.js"></script>
in the page header and in a module header...neither revives the cookie consent
