JQM 1.4.5 doesn't support jQuery 2.2.0

[suewonjp]

simple popup invocation doesn't work for the combination of the jquery 2.2.0 and jquery mobile 1.4.5 (both are recent versions)

Here is a very simple html file, which tries to only open a popup. It fails at least on my system.

test7.html.zip

The error message is:

TypeError: a.preventDefault is not a function. (In 'a.preventDefault()', 'a.preventDefault' is undefined)

But, other combinations work; for instance:

• jq 1.9.1 and jqm 1.4.5
• jq 2.2.0 and jqm 1.3.2

The bottom line is something seems wrong if both of the two are latest.

tested system:

• Safari - Version 9.0.3 (9537.86.4.4)
• OS X 10.9.5

                popstateEvent.originalEvent = {
                    type: "popstate",
                    state: null
                };

Then jquery.js tries to execute originalEvent.preventDefault which is not defined. Adding en empty method seems to work fine at least for this case. However I'm not sure whether this should be handled by jquery itself or should be fixed in jquery mobile.

Edit: this issue jquery/jquery#2812 seems to be related

Not work if data-history="true" (http://api.jquerymobile.com/popup/#option-history).
Example code: http://js.do/code/84344
Problem affected in jquery version 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 (work fine in version 2.1.4).

jQuery 2.2 was released after jQuery Mobile 1.4.5 and is not supported by it. This is fixed in the latest code which will be for 1.5.0.

Closing this ticket, based on @arschmitz his comment.

[arschmitz]

@jaspermdegroot i'm going to open this to discuss a possible 1.4.6 just to add compatibility at this weeks meeting we can update once a decision is made.

[Gemorroj]

@arschmitz any information about 1.4.6?

[apsdehal]

@arschmitz What is the final stance on 1.4.6?

[arschmitz]

We are planning a 1.4.6 once we get 1.5 out

How far away are we from jQM 1.5?

[apsdehal]

@bassena We are very close. We are working API docs and upgrade guide at the moment.
