string.replace is not a function

[Nesse]

When I try to use the latest jQuery version (3.1.0) together with jQuery Migrate (3.0.0) I get the following error:

angular.js:13236 TypeError: string.replace is not a function
at Function.camelCase (jquery-3.1.0.js:355)

Is it possible to use ui-select along with jQuery and jQuery Migrate?

jQuery is only required to support legacy browsers.

If you want to submit a PR to resolve jQuery compatibility issues feel free but it isn't a requirement for this project.

We had a similar problem and the issue lies in the migrate plugin. Angular uses jQuery.data() internally and sometimes it passes a scope object for the name argument.

// jquery-migrate-3.js
...
jQuery.data = function( elem, name, value ) {    // sometimes name is a scope object here
    var curData;

    // If the name is transformed, look for the un-transformed name in the data object
    if ( name && typeof name === "string" && name !== jQuery.camelCase( name ) ) {   // << added type check
        curData = jQuery.hasData( elem ) && oldData.call( this, elem );
...

Try adding a typeofcheck in the if to make sure the migrate plugin only warns if the name actually is a string.

Thank you for the clarification. I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out exactly why this error was coming about.
