Uncaught TypeError: etLoader is null

Problem/Motivation

Uncaught TypeError: etLoader is null is popping up in the console from these lines in modules/cookies_etracker/js/cookies_etracker-block_cookies_true_without_consent.js:

/**
 * @file
 * Defines Javascript behaviors for the cookies_etracker module.
 *
 * This is used when data_block_cookies is TRUE
 * AND knockout_mode is 'block_cookies_true_without_consent'.
 */
(function (Drupal) {
  /**
   * Sets data-block-cookies to "false" once consent was given
   * through COOKiES.
   */
  Drupal.behaviors.cookiesEtrackerBlockCookiesTrueWithoutConsent = {
    // id corresponding to the cookies_service.schema->id.
    id: "etracker",

    activate(context) {
      const etLoader = document.getElementById("_etLoader");
      if (
        etLoader.getAttribute &&
        etLoader.getAttribute("data-block-cookies") === "true"
      ) {
        // Use cookieful tracking:

This is minor, as it only happens under certain conditions, especially if etracker is disabled for the current role, path, etc. - in that case the script should not be executed at all, I guess.

Furthermore we could discuss, if in the following line a check for existence of the element should be added:
const etLoader = document.getElementById("_etLoader");

This is fixed in dev and 8.x-3.0-beta4, but I don't have permission to add a new release. This bug breaks existing sites through the JS error. @sunlix could you please add the new tagged release?

Hey Julian,

I am sorry wanted to have a look today, but a full bloat meeting schedule didn’t made any „work“ done.
Added it tomorrow, hit me on Slack before 10h so I think we can spin off beta5

@sunlix all good :) I was able to solve it. @jurgenhaas helped out and granted the required permissions.
If you're interested, please have a look at the other open issues, maybe we can finish them soon. Hopefully not much work left here then :)

Happy coding!
