Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.

Hi !

I got the following exception while replaying a session recorded on one of my website.

During the session, it crashed when the user was interacting with some dynamic selects / dropdowns.

Have you already seen this kind of errors?

PS: I can't post the events log due to privacy rules

If this happens with version 0.7.16, then it may be a new bug.

Could you tell me which select component is this project using? Maybe I can try to reproduce it.

[xavierh81]

There is no custom component for the selects.

They are just dynamic dropdowns with live changes handled by AngularJS (1.6.10)

@Yuyz0112 i have the same problem. It is only happening on one specific page and only with the safari browser (mobile and desktop). I think there is maybe an DOM change which the recorder didn't detect. I send you a recording via e-mail with the bug.

Copied from #306.

In some cases when applyMutation removes a node, the parent of that node is not attached to the document. This triggers the following error Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.

Expected behaviour

No error should happen

To reproduce

1. git clone [email protected]:juice10/rrweb-player-1.git
2. npm install
3. npm start
4. Open http://localhost:1234
5. Seek to around the 23 second or 26 second mark and let it play for a couple seconds, error will trigger:

Additional information

The error isn't triggered when seeking (isSync == true) past the event. The error also isn't triggered if playing from the very start.

We're also hitting this in #365

[NulSEO]

... And still no response. I don't get that. People have opened issues regarding these problems before. @Yuyz0112 requested event data - they never replied. Now there's a bunch of event data and the issues are just being ignored. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (#337 #365 #376)

[Yuyz0112]

Hi @NulSEO

Actually, this error message is very general and most of the events are causing by different reasons. @Juice10 pointed out a way to reproduce it which is technically right, but I believe are not related to the problems you are facing.

I've done some debug on #337, #365, and #376, most of them are causing by some un-confirmed usage of rrweb, like merging different sessions into one.

So please upload your events or reproducible link for debugging. The other one's report may not help fix your problem.

@goldy-13 I was not able to fix my own issue but I’m happy to help if I can. What version of rrweb or rrweb-player are you using? Could you create a gist of your events?
