 * As I was finishing up drafting a post, Gutenberg stopped working. This is what
   I copied: TypeError: Cannot read property ‘getCollectionByRoute’ of undefined

 * exactly the same here. went edit a page and got a blank screen with error message.
 * First time I tried to use it after updating today.
 * Not sure if to add error here or not as its public and contains URLs.

 * Came here to see this, experiencing the same issue. Imagine if this crash occurred
   while it was core.
 * I see this particular issue was “caused by Yoast”. When it really is just straight
   up evidence of how fragile the new-to-be “core” editor is. I’ve never had tinyMCE
   crash like this, not once – in many years of developing & editing.
 * Gun well aimed at foot WordPress, I know you want to pull that trigger.

 * I just experienced the same exact issue, though I don’t know if it was caused
   by Yoast. Did anyone find any sort of resolution? Or temporary workaround? I 
   was unable to make any progress sadly..
 * Edit:
    Welp! I deactivated Yoast and, boom, everything was working dandy again.
   My apologies for doubting that Yoast was the cause! I read in another thread 
   that Yoast is going to release an update on Monday (source: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-update-no-editor-shows-up/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-update-no-editor-shows-up/))
 * Anyway, hopefully this gets resolved with the Yoast update on Monday.

 * Yap, deactivating Yoast did the trick. Hope it’s fixed soon as I have converted
   all posts to Gutenberg and I depend on Yoast.

 * [@merlinjk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/merlinjk/) Glad that worked. 
   Will give it a go. Fingers crossed a quick fix is on the way for us.

 * We’ve just released Yoast SEO 8.1.1 that fixes this.
 * Background: Gutenberg 3.7 removed a dependency that we also relied on. The bug
   was on our side (we should have registered our dependency ourselves) but the 
   testing process needs improvement on both sides, we’re talking about that right
   now 🙂

 * Yap. All working good now. Tell you one thing. First time posting without Yoast
   yesterday since installing earlier this year, and just checked with Yoast and
   I haven’t done half bad. So definitely using Yoast does actually teach you SEO.
