Braintree Paypal Checkout Component Throwing "e.client.getversion Is Not A Function"

I'm struggling to understand what I'm doing wrong here: braintree.client.create({ authorization: res.clientToken // this is the token, I know it is correct }, (err, client)

Solution 1:

_{Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact support.}

getVersion is a method of the client class as of version 3.16.0 of braintree-web. Update the version of braintree-web you're using to 3.16.0+.

Solution 2:

I ran into this when trying to use vaultManager in conjunction with dropIn.

Now I'm not actually planning on continuing with that - I'm just playing. Looks like I'm going to have to go fully custom - hence why I wanted to start playing with vaultManager.

Anyway I had this :

 braintree.dropin.create({....}, (err, instance) => {

       braintree.vaultManager.create({ client: instance }, (e, vmInstance) =>
       {
           vmInstance.fetchPaymentMethods((err, paymentMethods) => {

              alert(JSON.stringify(paymentMethods)); 
           });
       });
 });

Turns out instance is NOT a Client object. It is a Dropin object ;-) It creates its own client stored on _client private property.

I needed instead to do braintree.client.create(...) to get a true Client object.

I actually cheated and did this - just for the time being:

 braintree.vaultManager.create({ client: instance._client },

Like I said I don't recommend using both DropIn and Vault together, it kind of defeats the point of both.
