Hi, I'm currently using DataTables via CDN and everything was working fine earlier today. However, I'm now seeing the following errors in my browser console:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'defaults') — datatables.min.js
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ext') — buttons.server-side.js
Uncaught TypeError: $(...).DataTable is not a function — jquery-3.7.0.min.js
Screenshot of the console:
These errors only appeared recently without any code changes, and it seems related to how the CDN is loading or ordering the scripts.
i use this cdn
https://cdn.datatables.net/v/bs4/jszip-3.10.1/dt-1.13.5/b-2.4.1/b-html5-2.4.1/b-print-2.4.1/sl-1.7.0/datatables.min.js
Both jQuery and the DataTables CSS are loading fine — the problem appears to be with the JavaScript bundle itself.

Yes, Datatables have had issues with their CDN, some appear to still be ongoing despite a fix being put in place an hour or so ago.
There is a workaround mentioned here, it works fine for us:
