Magento 2.2.5 minicart not working

[aisling_watters]

Magento 2.2.5, upgraded from 2.1.5. The mini cart in the header is not working properly. When you add something to the cart it says, 1 item available, that part is correct. However the subtotal and the items are not appearing

The following error is in the console:

 knockout.js:3012 Uncaught TypeError: Unable to process binding "foreach: function(){return $parent.getRegion($parent.getItemRenderer(item.product_type)) }"

    Message: Cannot read property 'simple' of undefinedat UiClass.getItemRenderer (minicart.js:140)

which refers to these lines in minicart.js

getItemRenderer: function (productType) {

return this.itemRenderer[productType] || 'defaultRenderer';

//return 'defaultRenderer';

},

Console log shows "simple" for productType

If I comment out the return line and just return "defaultRenderer" it gives no errors but just no items.

This was using a custom Theme, not made by me but even reverting to Default Blank theme still gives the same error.

"itemRenderer" is in vendor/magento/magento-checkout/view/frontend/layout/checkout_car_sidebar_item_renderers.xml and other similar questions seem to imply that there is an issue in the XML but I can't see anything wrong with it.

I have disabled all non Magento_ extensions and there was no difference.

I installed 2.2.5 locally and took the vendor/magento/magento-checkout files and put them in this site, just in case, and deleted the module-checkout files from the app/design theme folder and it's still giving the same error. I have deployed static files, cleared cache, reindexed etc etc. Is there anything else I could be trying?

Hi Manish

I'm not sure I understand these posts. My current Magento_theme layout/default.xml file has this in it

<referenceContainer name="header.container">

Does this look incorrect? Thanks!

I can not find top-header in this, can you please check once

[aisling_watters]

It appears to be working now - I'm not sure if it's the upgrade to 2.2.6 but it's working. Just don't want you wasting any time @Manish Mittal looking at it. I will report back with the cause and fix once I figure out what it was. In the meantime thank you!
