Hi,
Since last week or so my discourse is having trouble loading JS plugins.
What is strange is that they are indeed loaded correctly in the Network tab:
I am getting errors such as
`TypeError: e.find(...).not(...).magnificPopup is not a function`
`TypeError: window.Chart is not a constructor`
It seems that stuff getting loaded via `loadScript("/javascripts/jquery.magnific-popup.min.js")` are not loading correctly.
Discourse version: [v2.2.0.beta2 +184](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/b5bdd42838aa5401dedb7bc7d1548c8888d95b5f...tests-passed)
Does anyone have a clue as to why this might happen or steps to debug this? Thanks!

Do you mean from a customization or plugin, or are you referring to a plain vanilla install?

The front-end should be vanilla except for two script inclusions that aren’t causing errors.
Core features like the `/admin` dashboard charts aren’t displaying.

Is this on your local environment or on a live site? Also, can you confirm that you have the `Chart.min.js` and `jQuery.magnific-popup.min.js` in the `/public/javascripts/` folder?

You can see it live in most posts, e.g. [https://www.robotshop.com/community/forum/t/mini-sumo-at-the-next-ny-makerfair/33003/3](https://www.robotshop.com/community/forum/t/mini-sumo-at-the-next-ny-makerfair/33003/3)
The file is there and you can see from the network tab that it’s loading: [https://www.robotshop.com/community/forum/javascripts/jquery.magnific-popup.min.js](https://www.robotshop.com/community/forum/javascripts/jquery.magnific-popup.min.js)

Hmm, interesting. There are no images in the topic you linked above, so I don’t see what’s triggering the magnificPopup call.

I am looking at our previous stable environment and it seems that those issue might have started to appear when we moved from: Discourse 2.1.0.beta4 → Discourse 2.2.0.beta2

Hey @rbrlortie, a recent change to `loadScript` is not working as expected for subfolder installs, but I have identified the issue and submitted a fix.
Thanks for the report, and I will let you know when it’s ready for update!
