Exception "TypeError: Cannot call method 'remove' of undefined" in ionic.bundle.js

[manzapanza]

Only running on a device android (Galaxy SIII mini Android 4.1.2 & ionic-bower#1.0.0-beta.9) I get hundred of errors like this in the logcat but the app continue running without problems. On iPhone Simulator or browser there are no errors.

logcat:

file:///android_asset/www/lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js: Line 18897 : TypeError: Cannot call method 'remove' of undefined

The code 'try' to remove css classes like 'ng-animate' on html elements without css classes, for this the property el.classList is undefined at the line 36479 of ionic.bundle.js.

Maybe the simplest solution could be wrapping with a if:

if(el.classList !== undefined){
  el.classList.remove(cssClasses);
}

Thanks

Hmm, can you try to reproduce this with a codepen or create a similar situation to what you have?
Also, can you try with the nightly builds and see if that resolves the issue?

[manzapanza]

The problem occurs only running on device Android Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini for this with nightly build as chrome there not are errors. Yesterday I tried running the basic ionic side menu app (that has some slide animations) on the device and there not was errors like these... So.. I will prepare a codepen shortly. Thanks

Hey @manzapanza, any luck with that codepen?

[manzapanza]

Hi Mike, sorry for my reply delayed. I was able to isolate the problem and I discovered that is caused by an ng-repeat of path elements of a svg:

Hey @mhartington, do you have some news? Thanks!

[mhartington]

Hey, sorry about that. Will look into it now. Just to make sure, can you test with beta 11or the nightly builds to make sure this wasn't already fixed

[manzapanza]

Thank you for your quick reply! I already upgraded to beta 11 but the problem persist

[mhartington]

Alright, so I was able to reproduce this. Going to assign @perrygovier to this.

Please check the file comment in 98629d4
we are experiencing issues in IE11 because of this. It would be great to add the check for && el.classList as well
