I have just upgraded from Wordpress 4.9 to 5.1, which obviously comes with Gutenberg.
One major problem I have is that the parent theme (BeTheme) JavaScript is not being loaded and instead the child theme JavaScript is being loaded for a second time.
After the point where wp_footer() is called I have this:
<script type='text/javascript' src='/wp-content/themes/betheme/assets/animations/animations.min.js?ver=21.1.1.1'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/wp-content/themes/betheme/assets/jplayer/jplayer.min.js?ver=21.1.1.1'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/wp-content/themes/betheme/js/parallax/translate3d.js?ver=21.1.1.1'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/wp-content/themes/crmpiccodotcom/js/scripts.js?ver=21.1.1.1'></script>
Whereas on my old installation the last line would be pointing to the parent theme JavaScript.
What has caused this to change in 5.1?

More than that, it does not care where your scripts are enqueued from. – Max Yudin Commented Mar 12, 2019 at 8:42
- Nothing has changed in WordPress that would cause this. Either the parent theme updated and changed something or you've made a change and forgotten about it. Can you share the code you're using to enqueue scripts? Or even how the parent theme enqueues them. – Jacob Peattie Commented Mar 12, 2019 at 11:27

Reset to default 1I traced this back to the name of the scripts.js JavaScript file.
My parent theme (BeTheme) enqueues the main scripts.js like this:
wp_enqueue_script('mfn-scripts', get_theme_file_uri('/js/scripts.js'), array('jquery'), MFN_THEME_VERSION, true);
In my child theme crmpiccodotcom/footer.php I enqueue the scripts.js like this:
// include the crmpiccodotcom child theme JavaScript
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'crmpiccodotcom_enqueue_scripts');
function crmpiccodotcom_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script(
'custom-script',
CHILD_THEME_URI. '/js/scripts.js',
array('jquery')
);
}
Seemingly the name caused a clash and the BeTheme used the child theme's scripts.js instead of it's own, so the fix was to rename the child theme scripts.js -> crmpicco-scripts.js
I believe the issue lies with the BeTheme, which I will take up with them, but certainly a file rename resolves this.
