date time picker is missing after upgrading to 2.16

Just upgraded from ww 2.15 to ww 2.16. The date-time-picker seems to have disappeared. 

I have $options{useDateTimePicker} = 1; in default.config and it is also set in the course configuration. I cannot see any other place where it would be un-set.

There were some significant changes to the javascript in 2.16, so there are two things to check:

  1. Did you run the npm command from the installation instructions to install the new javascript?
  2. Make sure you clear your browser cache to make sure that you are using the updated javascript files (holding shift while reloading the page should accomplish this).

Thank you Danny for the response. Yes, I did all this.
It turns out that some browsers like Vivaldi and Opera under MacOS cannot handle some of the javascript. I guess I will go back to using Safari.

The date/time picker code has not changed from previous versions of webwork.  Furthermore, there is no javascript usage that should be a problem for any modern browser.  So everything should work fine on Vivaldi and Opera.
