  it is embedded in fastreport.web.dll library, fr_util.js, run your mvc app, debug in browser and copy to harddisk, modify it
  
  do not put @WebReportGlobals.Scripts() in view (MVC)
  do it manually:
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/fr_util.js"></script>

  You completely lost me, I've never done anything like this before. A little more explanation on the process would be appreciated.
  It's a Web Forms app, not MVC, BTW.

  i dont know in webforms, try to include these below in your aspx page:
  
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/fr_util.js"></script>
  <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="~/scripts/jquery-ui.custom.min.css" />

  it is easier to do like this:
  1. in aspx page:
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="~/scripts/fr_util.js"></script>
  <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="~/scripts/jquery-ui.custom.min.css" />
  <div id="fastreport"></div>
  2. in aspx page, use ajax (jquery) to call webmethod
  3. webmethod is processing fastreport and returns :
  FastReport.Web.WebReport wr = new FastReport.Web.WebReport();
  return wr.GetHtml().ToHtmlString();
  4. ajax receives data, update the <div>
  $("#fastreport").html(data);
  5. single page application style

  No, this isn't fixing anything. Why is it suddenly complaining about 'console'? Is this something new in FR 2018?

  I can't change my whole app just for FR.
  It worked fine in FR 2015 before.
  It works fine when I run FR 2018 designer and then run the report from there.
  It's only running FR 2018 through my app that it hits this error.
  
  I'm going to uninstall all versions of FR from my dev box, install 2018.2.7 again, and try again.
  If it doesn't work, I'm going to raise a ticket with FR, I think.

  Excellent, thanks for the head's up on the previous complaint. I tried out their solution and it worked.
  
  For anybody else in the future who runs across this problem, my solution is to add this code to the .aspx page where the FR runs:
  
  <script LANGUAGE="javascript">
  // Avoid `console` errors in browsers that lack a console.
  (function() {
  var method;
  var noop = function () {};
  var methods = [
  'assert', 'clear', 'count', 'debug', 'dir', 'dirxml', 'error',
  'exception', 'group', 'groupCollapsed', 'groupEnd', 'info', 'log',
  'markTimeline', 'profile', 'profileEnd', 'table', 'time', 'timeEnd',
  'timeStamp', 'trace', 'warn'
  ];
  var length = methods.length;
  var console = (window.console = window.console || {});
  
  while (length--) {
  method = methods[length];
  
  // Only stub undefined methods.
  if (!console[method]) {
  console[method] = noop;
  }
  }
  }());
  </SCRIPT>
