Reloading (approx 5 times) the pages helps and it will be displayed correctly.
Any idea what happens? I saw there are a lot of new luci changes introduced. I think we have to adapt our wizard to this new changes. But in the meantime I would like to have that fixed.

Don't rely on L.ui being available but add 'require ui'; to the top of your view code and use ui.xxx throughout the entire code (basically s/L.ui/ui/g)

Thanks for your help! But we do not use L.ui at all? That is why I do not understand the error.

The viewcode is here:

I am using openwrt 19.07 and facing same kind of error when instance of openvpn client is created and enabled.

I cant see L.ui being used anywhere in openvpn code.

If I do
rm -fr /tmp/luci-indexcache
rm -fr /tmp/luci-modulecache
luci-reload

then the issue goes away.
