Building frontend fails with various (function undefined, etc.) errors

Now happening already two times in my career and spending some time with it, I find it worth telling my problem in this topic. After coming into a new company or to a new (existing) project you try to build the source code to start working on new features. A lot of times it happens that you receive error messages which do not happen on the colleagues work stations. Usually long working employees also fail to detect the root cause of this error. It actually comes from a differend node/npm version and errors from the build are very misleading.

CSS Styling a button does not yield the desired outcome

When trying to incorporate a new page into an existing website with corporate styling, I came to a problem which was hard to detect (for me).

Whatever I've done, I never got the correct styling, like magically ignored by the browser. Learning about the developer console I digged deep into the css styling and found out that a <div> from a container forced its own styling on the button.

XML Parsing Library in a JIRA Plugin does not work

When developing a JIRA Plugin and trying to parse XML data from external sources and displaying it, the parsing with the commonly used Woodstox library failed with the following error: javax.xml.stream.FactoryFinder$ConfigurationError: Provider com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory not found Debugging took a considerable amount of time as the library was actually added into maven but was not available once installing the plugin in JIRA. The problem relied in OSGi class loading and a problem with the xml parsing library architecture which has its root in an IBM architecture decision.
