Trying to show variant SKU on product page, won't update when selecting new variant

I'm using a modified Venture theme and trying to display the SKU for each variant in the product page. I changed the price of one so I could make sure it knows what "current_variant" is. It's able to change the price on a new variant just fine but not the SKU.

I realize this is a javascript issue (yuck) so I went digging around in my theme.js. It looks like it's got this bit of code:

/**
     * Trigger event when variant sku changes.
     *
     *   {object} variant - Currently selected variant
     *  {event} variantSKUChange
     */
    _updateSKU: function(variant) {
      if (variant.sku === this.currentVariant.sku) {
        return;
      }

      this.$container.trigger({
        type: 'variantSKUChange',
        variant: variant
      });
    },

 

and this a little further down:

_updateSKU: function(evt) {
      var variant = evt.variant;

      if (variant) {
        $(this.selectors.SKU).html(variant.sku);
     }
},

 

which look like they're supposed to handle it? I also found this Shopify guide on how to get SKU numbers to show, but I select Venture as my theme and it says

"Look for variant.sku.
If you're able to findvariant.sku, then you have completed the customization."

I don't think I'm done, but okay... I'm really unsure of what to do from here. If you want to take a look at my shop, it's https://kintronic.myshopify.com/ and the password is rowato. I would love it if someone could tell me what to do to fix this javascript.

This is an accepted solution.

If anyone is trying to figure this one out for themselves, I figured out what my problem was. The javascript was just fine, but I didn't have the CSS class "variant-sku" on the element, which is what the javascript is looking for in order to work. Good luck!

I got this to work, but when choosing a different variant on the website, the SKU doesn't change. 

 

I am on Dawn theme but came from Venture - where I did make this work before. 

 

Anything helps, thanks

I'm using the Dawn theme too, and sku number does not change as it should when a different variant is clicked
