Dojo parser unavailable since Mx 6.10?

Hi all,

Originally I developed a widget in Mx 6.7.1 and got it working nicely. Now I need to upgrade to a newer Mx version (6.10.2), but am getting an error now on:

dojo/parser::parse() error Error: Currently not supported

it seems the 'dojo.parser.parse()' function is now not properly available anymore from within the Mendix Dojo version. I need this to trigger the creation of some needed child widgets in my own widget. Those child widgets are defined in the template of my widget with the data-dojo-type property. The dojo.parser.parse() function actually created those, but now is not working anymore.

Does anybody know what to do with this:

• why is it not available anymore?
• is there a workaround?

Any help would be great!

EDIT: This is how I now call the parser.parse() function, which is failing after upgrading from 6.7.1 to 6.10.2

define("WIDGET/widget/WIDGET",
	['dojo/parser','dojo/text!./template/WIDGET.html',
], function (_WidgetBase, _TemplatedMixin,parser) {'use strict';
    return declare('WIDGET.widget.WIDGET', [_WidgetBase, _TemplatedMixin], {
		// load the HTML template into the widget.
       templateString: widgetTemplate,

        postCreate: function () {
			// parse the dijit widgets defined in the HTML template
			parser.parse();

        },
