Automatic Simple XML Dashboard: JS Stack: VisualizationRegistry Error Cause?

Can someone explain what causes this error?

Error: Uncaught Error: VisualizationRegistry has not been populated yet. Make sure that the visualizations collection is loaded before attempting to use it.

This happened as soon as I added <script src="{{SPLUNKWEB_URL_PREFIX}}/static/app/my_app_name/my_js_name.js" type="text/javascript"></script> to the end of the HTML dashboard. The HTML dashboard is auto-generated from a simple XML dashboard I created.

Below is the HTML dashboard appended with that script:

<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<title>My App Name</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/en-US/static/@D02ED261DB0463D7C4253E2343E0C4184E4E4E2BF5E7A1B1DE369AD38B6562B5/img/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{SPLUNKWEB_URL_PREFIX}}/static/build/css/bootstrap-enterprise.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{SPLUNKWEB_URL_PREFIX}}/static/build/css/splunkjs-dashboard.css" />

    <meta name="referrer" content="never" />
    <meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer" />

      <script>
            window._splunk_metrics_events = {
               push : function() {},
               active: false,
               }
      </script>
</head>
