Cannot read property 'contentData' of null -- Publish (when EPiServer.Marketing.Testing installed)
I just started getting this myself today. I don't think it has to do with the Episerver.Marketing.Testing as much as it has something to do with the new version EPiServer.CMS.UI. I went back down the 11.13.2 on EPiServer.CMS.UI & dependencies, and it worked for me. I then grabbed the new version of this (11.14.0) and I got the same error.
Try taking EPiServer.CMS.UI back and see if it works for you. In the meantime, I'll report this as a bug.

Could you detail the reproduction steps? I am running a 11.14.0 site without issue.
Jan 09, 2019 8:22
I've just tried updating to EPiServer.CMS.UI 11.14.0 and also EPiServer.Forms 4.22.0 and we're seeing the same issue.

Can you enable debug scripts by adding the <clientResources debug="true" /> to the episerver.framework section of the web.config. This will produce a more traceable strack trace. Also reproduction steps would help a lot.

Here's the stack trace:

Hopefully that's helpful a little bit

Thanks, for the update. We are looking into the issue, you can track the bug here: https://world.episerver.com/support/Bug-list/bug/CMS-12825

A workaround is to go back to version: https://nuget.episerver.com/package?id=EPiServer.CMS.UI&v=11.13.2
Jan 10, 2019 15:59
@Ben: Is it a way to disable AB testing on the site (like this app setting for projects episerver:ui:IsProjectModeEnabled = false)? Then we do not have to downgrade or uninstall the Marketing nuget packages?
Jan 14, 2019 16:25
I'm not sure. I'm not very familiar with the add-on. Uninstalling is probably your best bet if you don't want to downgrade CMS UI while they fix the issue. I have submitted a PR with a fix to the team responsible for the add-on so it should hopefully be available next week.
Jan 14, 2019 18:30
The bug is still in there with EPiServer.CMS.UI 11.15.0 released on 21st January 2019 so I've had to downgrade to 11.13.2. Will a fix require an update to the A/B testing package EPiServer.Marketing.Testing?
Jan 23, 2019 9:13
The issue will be fixed in the next release of EPiServer.Marketing.Testing
Jan 23, 2019 9:54
If seems to work if you remove the Archived Tests gadget from the side panels
EDIT: This was probably just a stroke of luck. Don't work again after logging out and in again.

Also stepped back to CMS.UI 11.3.2 to resolve this issue until further notice.
Feb 04, 2019 9:26
EPiServer.Marketing.Testing 2.5.5 has been released which fixes this issue: https://nuget.episerver.com/package/?id=EPiServer.Marketing.Testing&v=2.5.5

I am not quite there yet. Dojo reports an error about "out of date" jQuery, which might be my problem. How do I that fixed?
In "modules\_protected\Shell\Shell\11.17.1\ClientResources"
there is a file called: EPiJQuery.js, which has verson 1.3.2. Is this the one being used by /episerver ?
I have the following nuget-versions:
* EPiServer.CMS.Core.11.11.2
* EPiServer.CMS.UI.Core.11.17.1

You have misread the stacktrace. The error is about a query to a dojo store. This error can be ignored.
Feb 23, 2019 13:35
@Ben, yes you are right! At the time I wrote this, I could not see the publish dialog, but now I can.
All good. Thanks.

Hello All,
I am starting out my journey into EpiServer and trying to spin up the AlloyDemo application. I am playing around with Users and associated permissions (more specifically Publishing a page). I ran into an issue where the Publish "popup" is not showing up. When I see the console I get the following error. This error goes away and the Publish popup comes up correctly when I uninstall the EPiServer.Marketing.Testing (I am not sure about the dependency between the Marketing.Testing and popups)
