Mixpanel error: "mixpanel" object not initialized

Question

I am getting the below error.

I am using Angular - I have not imported a mix panel library - if I do a search I cannot find this.

Why am I getting this error/how can get rid of it?

Mixpanel error: "mixpanel" object not initialized. Ensure you are using the latest version of the Mixpanel JS Library along with the snippet we provide.

See this question - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48541556/jsmixpanel-2-latest-min-js9-mixpanel-error-mixpanel-object-not-initialized - it solved it for me. — gavin stanley, Feb 06 '18 at 12:03

If you are not using mixpanel in your code, you should check whether it is one of your extensions.

In my case it was the PageRuler extension and started happening only today.

The creator of the extension was notified... https://github.com/wrakky/page-ruler/issues/103 – doublejosh Feb 07 '18 at 06:17

This is a tracking library... How much information is a chrome addin able to track? i.e. can they see hostnames, mouse moves, clicks, etc? – Zach Smith Feb 07 '18 at 13:53

I just checked, and yep, it was Page Ruler for me too, but i didn't remove or disable it. I just unchecked 'Send Anonymous Usage Statistics' option under the extension options, since @ZachSmith mentioned that its a tracking library. Now there is no error. – trajce Feb 07 '18 at 19:25

Check your extensions, for me it was 'Page Ruler'

["https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-ruler/jlpkojjdgbllmedoapgfodplfhcbnbpn?hl=nl"] that caused this error.

Disable all extensions until the error does not occur anymore.

Same issue with Page Ruler... Worked fine without it. Why would an extension cause an issue with a random JS library? Poor extension code or poor library code? – Jake Wilson Feb 07 '18 at 22:13
