I'm using a custom lightning component in an app and that app is being used in a VF page, I have created a component for look up thing, since we dont have any standard components/tags for that, And this custom component is working fine when used out side page, Cant figure out where i'm wrong, Any help is appreciated.

VF Page

    <apex:page standardController="Traffic__c" sidebar="false" showHeader="false" standardStylesheets="false">

    <apex:includeLightning />

    <div id="lightning"/>
<div id="lightning2"/>
    <script>

        $Lightning.use("c:createNewTraffic", function() {
            $Lightning.createComponent("c:CreateTraffic",
                  {},
                  "lightning2",
                  function(cmp) {
                    // do some stuff
              });
        });   
            $Lightning.use("c:createNewTraffic", function() {
            $Lightning.createComponent("c:AccountLookup",
                  {},
                  "lightning",
                  function(cmp) {
                    // do some stuff
              });

When used inside the app: lookup cmp, Working as expected

LookUp Inside app

When used in a page: lookup cmp, Not working

Inside VF page

  • @Patlatus Thanks for reply, infact i am getting results i searched in lookup and that i can see in consle, And i think regarding locker service it will stay as critical update unless its new org, According to salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/128688/…

I was having similar issue where it would show "loading" icon when the component was embedded in VF page. See this post: force:inputField does not work in lightning component rendered on VF page

And to Itai's comment, please post concise code which will resolve it faster.
