JS报错：Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘substring‘ of undefined

报错信息：

bomFile.js:475 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined
    at HTMLAnchorElement.<anonymous> (bomFile.js:475)
    at Function.s (layui.js:2)

    at HTMLDivElement.m.handle (jquery.js?v=1575889601624:3)

代码：

var format = file_name.substring(file_name.length - 3, file_name.length);

原因分析： 本来运行得好好的，改了个字段就报错了。后来发现还是字段的问题。file_name写错了，导致获取的值为空，无法使用substring方法。
