Cannot read property 'setAttribute' of null when clicking on 'menu' when using `data-ng-click="$mdOpenMenu()"`

[DBassel]

TypeError: Cannot read property 'setAttribute' of null, when click event is marked by:
data-ng-click="$mdOpenMenu()"
when is marked:
ng-click="$mdOpenMenu()"
the issue disappears.

Thanks!

I don't think this issue is completely fixed, compared to what I expected earlier in #3252.

The file _menu.js contains the following references to ng-click only:

Lines 150-152

    if (!triggerElement.hasAttribute('ng-click')) {
      triggerElement = triggerElement.querySelector('[ng-click]');
    }

Lines 187-190:

  this.init = function(setMenuContainer) {
    menuContainer = setMenuContainer;
    triggerElement = $element[0].querySelector('[ng-click]');
  };

Can someone reopen this issue?

Cannot read property 'setAttribute' of null

in material/src/components/menu/js/menuController.js

Lines 26-27:

triggerElement = $element[0].querySelector('[ng-click],[ng-mouseenter]');
triggerElement.setAttribute('aria-expanded', 'false');

Where triggerElement is null when there is no element with ng-click or ng-mouseenter attribute inside md-menu.
