[cibernox]

Looking at the related PR, this should be fixed, can you confirm?

[jherdman]

Assuming that this change has landed in Ember Canary, sadly, no... I'll try again in a few days to see what happens.

[jherdman]

FYI tried again today and still no luck.

[jherdman]

I just realized I'm having a bit of a brain fart on the matter. I'm using this addon via ember-power-calednar. I'll put together a PR to update that addon and go from there.

[csprocket777]

I'm receiving a similar error with Ember 3.25.0 except it's complaining about type instead of start.

[jamescdavis]

@csprocket777 what version of ember-basic-dropdown and ember-maybe-in-element do you have? I think you need at least 3.0.8 so that you get https://github.com/cibernox/ember-basic-dropdown/commit/e89a00e0dbdd1226bf6732b8500a3df62097a25d

[csprocket777]

@jamescdavis I'm using ember-power-select which has a dependency on 3.0.11 of ember-basic-dropdown. Do I need to include ember-maybe-in-element separately? In my node-modules folder it's including 3.0.12 of ember-basic-dropdown

[jamescdavis]

You shouldn't have to (it's already a dep of ember-basic-dropdown). It's possible something regressed since https://github.com/glimmerjs/glimmer-vm/pull/1204

[jamescdavis]

🤔 ember try:one ember-release fails for me locally. AFAICT CI is not actually running for this repo.

[csprocket777]

@jamescdavis Well right now my build isn't completing and I'm stuck here:

[jamescdavis]

I am seeing the same, but with ember-basic-dropdown 1.x (can't upgrade to latest because our app is on Ember 3.12 and can't upgrade just yet).

[jamescdavis]

Ok, there was some issue with ember-font-awesome in the test suite. I removed it and the {{fa-icon}} invocations in tests and the test suite builds and runs on ember-release (3.25). One test does fail, but I'm not getting the build errors. Not sure what's going on here...

[csprocket777]

I actually removed ember-font-awesome just recently in favor of @fortawesome/ember-fontawesome.... I can't remove this or it's usage in my app.

[csprocket777]

Ok I've solved my specific issue. @jamescdavis, you're right, the latest versions of the ember-power-select and ember-basic-dropdown components do come with the proper versions of ember-maybe-in-element. Even explicitly including the proper version in my package.json didn't resolve it for me.

So I decided to check which versions were being used in my project:

npm ls ember-maybe-in-element
├── [email protected]
├─┬ [email protected]
│ └─┬ [email protected]
│   └── [email protected]  deduped
└─┬ [email protected]
  └─┬ [email protected]
    └─┬ [email protected]
      └── [email protected]

Notice ember-power-select-typeahead is using the old-n-busted version.

So I added a resolution to my package.json file and it ensured I was using the proper version across the all the addons. My compile no longer complains about this particular issue.

[cibernox]

Sorry for neglecting this for so long, I'm super busy and try to concentrate my OS work on Fridays. Glad @csprocket777 found the issue.

I'm going to migrate to github actions to fix CI.

[cibernox]

Ok, it took a while but I've setup github actions and fixed the test suite for beta and canary.

It turns out I had @embroider/util pinned to an old version and that was the source of some of the failures. I've released a new patch version in which I allow that dependency to float.

Perhaps that fixes the problems some of you have experienced?

[jamescdavis]

Thank you for taking the time to get CI going again, @cibernox!

I'm experiencing the same issue Cannot read property 'type' of undefined when building with: ember-power-select 3.0.4 ember 3.26

[linearza]

'type' of undefined issue fixed in https://github.com/cibernox/ember-power-select-typeahead/pull/114 - published to 0.8.2 for those running into this issue with typeahead
