bootstrap' is not a valid script name. The name must end in '.js'.

Question

User-605499000 posted

I am trying to reload certain files onto my web. Sitemaster is one of them. I am getting the above error. If I put the js at the end of bootstrap in script reference then I get another server error. It says that 4.0 is not valid and I am not using 4.0. I upgraded to 4.3.1. Can I take out the script bootstrap and still have the bootstrap js files open>

How do I get around this?

Thanks Jen

I have just deleted the project and restarted a new project and bootstrap is working without problems. I discovered that it was not listed in the reference area and I could not get it in there. I think that when I reloaded it something went wrong and it did not load properly.

I want to thank you so much for your help and sorry again that I did not explain myself well enough. I am a self taught programmer trying to redo a site that was built in 2009. Many changes and a big learning curve. Thank goodness the project is almost done and I can get it back on my web site.

Again thanks for everything. Your forums have saved me. I will mark it as resolved.

bootstrap.js must be the name.

Changing that is trying to fix your carburetor by changing your tire.

You need to fix the other error, which you haven't shown us the details for.

Hi bumples18,

Please check your packages.config file, you can see the version you are currently using.

And you can try to add Bootstrap CDN to your page. Add below code to your <head> tag, then you could use bootstrap.

The code:

Css:
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" />

Js:
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Best regards,

sam

Hi,

Thanks I have tried to get it going today and tried your files but need to use the script manager. I put in bootstrap.js and now I am getting the other error. which I will show you below. The packages and bundles all say 4.3.1 and also the styles has it listed as 4.3.1 I was using 4.0 but upgraded using nu-get. I am also included the beginning of the site.master. I am using bootstrap for the menu.

Hope you can help me, I have looked on the web for the answer.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

hi again. I just opened up a new site and updated the bootstrap with no problems when I ran it. I put in the menu that I was going to use. Could the problem be with my web server. I had major problems with them downloading my site a couple of months ago and it was just a basic site. I am using network solutions which I have used for years.

Just a thought, again thanks

ScriptReference with just a Name has to have that name defined elsewhere (and the name could be just bootstrap, if you wanted it to be).

See for example: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/asp-net-4-5-scriptmanager-improvements-in-webforms/ You'll see the examples show how MsAjaxBundle and jquery are defined.

If bootstrap is not similarly defined, follow those examples.

Hi,

I thought I had it and no error and then it is back today. So nothing solved and very frustrated. I studied what you said and made sure that bootstrap had the same info as J.Query.

Below is part of the properties package

<package id="AspNet.ScriptManager.jQuery" version="3.4.1" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="AspNet.ScriptManager.bootstrap" version="4.3.1" targetFramework="net461" /> * I added this line since jQuery had it.
<package id="bootstrap" version="4.3.1" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="EntityFramework" version="6.3.0-preview7-19363-02" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="EntityFramework.SqlServerCompact" version="6.2.0" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="jQuery" version="3.4.1" targetFramework="net461" />

On my site master I put back bootstrap without the js. The error today is the lack of js..

Any more ideas? Thanks Jen

It's rather confusing to try and help you. You posted your ScriptReference lines, and I gave you a link to show you what was needed for bootstrap to be recognized that way, but now you are posting package Id information.

There is no way to know what you tried and what your current error is.

When I put in Js in the script I get the first error that I got. I am sorry about the confusion. I did read what you sent and I checked everywhere on my site to see if Bootstrap was listed the same as jQuery. That is why I sent you the properties. I have other websites and no problems with bootstrap. There has got to be another reason why the errors. Also the fact that it worked yesterday after reloading it but then today no. I think that I am going to have to move all my files into a new project that has a working bootstrap. I don't know what else to do.

Thank you for your help.

Jen
