ignite-ui-full imports jquery-ui/ui/core and fails with jQuery UI 1.14.x

[georgianastasov]

Description

I investigated an issue reported by a user during application migration.

After reviewing the installed package contents, I confirmed that the distributed @infragistics/ignite-ui-full package still contains legacy imports to jquery-ui/ui/core inside:

• en/js/infragistics.core.js
• en/js/infragistics.lob.js

Example from the installed package:

define([
  "jquery",
  "jquery-ui",
  "jquery-ui/ui/core",
  ...
], factory)

This causes the application to fail when using jquery-ui 1.14.x, because jQuery UI 1.14 removed the deprecated ui/core.js module: https://jqueryui.com/changelog/1.14.0/.

This appears to be a package-level compatibility issue in the distributed Ignite UI bundle rather than an application-code issue.

• ignite-ui version: >19
• browser: N/A

Steps to reproduce

1. Create application that depends on @infragistics/ignite-ui-full
2. Install:
   • @infragistics/ignite-ui-full@25.1.2
   • jquery-ui@1.14.1
3. Start the application with npm start
4. Review the build output
5. Inspect:
   • node_modules/@infragistics/ignite-ui-full/en/js/infragistics.core.js
   • node_modules/@infragistics/ignite-ui-full/en/js/infragistics.lob.js

Result

The build fails because the package tries to resolve the removed legacy path jquery-ui/ui/core.

The user-facing error is equivalent to:
Can't resolve 'jquery-ui/ui/core'

The distributed Ignite UI files still contain direct references to that path.

Expected result

@infragistics/ignite-ui-full 25.1.2 should not reference removed jQuery UI legacy module paths when used with jquery-ui 1.14.x.

If jQuery UI 1.14.x is supported, the distributed package should be updated so it no longer imports jquery-ui/ui/core.

Attachments

Relevant findings from the installed package:

1. en/js/infragistics.core.js

   • contains AMD dependency on jquery-ui/ui/core

2. en/js/infragistics.lob.js

   • contains AMD dependency on jquery-ui/ui/core

Temporary workaround identified:

• use jquery-ui 1.13.3, which still contains the legacy module structure expected by the current package, until this issue is resolved
