Sometimes
window.twttr
will exist without thewidgets
property. This could be due to twitter analytics or ads. I came across this when twitter scripts were being embedded on a site via GTM. This results in a bunch of errors, specifically:The current implementation checks to see if
window.twttr
is defined before trying to load the twitter platform scripts. The solution here is to also check thatwindow.twttr.widgets
is available.
