There is no such a Duplicated jQuery Selector error; that’s a warning thrown by IntelliJ (and other IDEs from idea like WebStorm…) suggesting that you should store your jQuery selection in a local variable rather than repeating the selection.
Excerpt from jQuery documentation:
Saving Selections
jQuery doesn’t cache elements for you. If you’ve made a selection that you might need to make again, you should save the selection in a variable rather than making the selection repeatedly.
1| var divs = $( "div" );Once the selection is stored in a variable, you can call jQuery methods on the variable just like you would have called them on the original selection.
A selection only fetches the elements that are on the page at the time the selection is made. If elements are added to the page later, you’ll have to repeat the selection or otherwise add them to the selection stored in the variable. Stored selections don’t magically update when the DOM changes.
However, in your code there is no duplicated jQuery selection so I bet that warning is coming from somewhere else.. What is in line with the fact that the error persists after adding the missing $.
In general is a good practice to add the reported error to your questions..
