I apologize, but I don't have specific information in the provided knowledge sources about this particular error or the exact implementation details of the
reset()method in Mixpanel's JavaScript SDK. However, based on the error message and the code snippet you've provided, I can offer some general insights and suggestions.The error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'clear')" suggests thatthis['persistence']is undefined when thereset()method is called. This could happen if the Mixpanel library hasn't been properly initialized or if there's an issue with the persistence configuration.Here are some steps you might try to resolve this issue:1. Ensure that you've properly initialized the Mixpanel instance before callingreset(). The initialization should look something like this:LBKSmixpanel.init('YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN');LBKS2. Check your Mixpanel configuration. Make sure you haven't disabled persistence accidentally. If you're using a custom configuration, it might look something like this:LBKSmixpanel.init('YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN', { persistence: 'localStorage', debug: true });LBKS3. Verify that you're using the latest version of the Mixpanel JavaScript SDK. Older versions might have bugs that have been fixed in newer releases.4. If you're callingreset()immediately after initialization, try adding a small delay to ensure that the library has fully loaded and initialized.5. Check the browser's console for any other error messages that might provide more context about the issue.If you continue to experience this error after trying these steps, I recommend reaching out to Mixpanel's support team for more specific assistance.
