TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of null

Getting the following error via Rollbar:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of null
1 File https://api.filepicker.io/v2/filepicker.js line 1 col 3830 in Object.n
2 File https://api.filepicker.io/v2/filepicker.js line 1 col 215 in Object.function.r.isClass.n.(anonymous
3 File https://api.filepicker.io/v2/filepicker.js line 1 col 1115 in i

Occurring primarily in Chrome

@rattrayalex I'm closing it for now but reopen it if you find any further details.

I have been having the same problem for a while now.
Is the a sourcemap for filepicker or an unminified version that I can use to debug this?

[rattrayalex]

I think this might be the result of trying to initialize filepicker on a target, when that target isn't on the DOM. But that's more speculation than the result of testing.

I have the same Issue.
After analyzing the minified file I tracked the line that causes the error:
filepicker.js Line 399:

var run = function(data) {
>>>        var callerId = data.id;
        if (storage.hasOwnProperty(callerId)) {
            var handlers = storage[callerId];
            for (var i = 0; i < handlers.length; i++) {
                handlers[i](data);
            }
            return true;
        }

Any solutions?

We are seeing the same error, over and over (several times a minute), from just a few machines (all running Chrome 51). Perhaps the users are running a plugin?

In any event, being more defensive as to the content of the message would solve the issue.

Still existing

[szwacz]

We've published v2.4.14 which tries to solve this issue. Please tell us if it indeed solved it.

[zachsnow]

Thanks @szwacz! We'll give it a whirl.

[rattrayalex]

I think this looks mostly-resolved for us after the fix, but still getting one such error:

[zachsnow]

Any chance you'd backport this to v1?

[szwacz]

@zachsnow unfortunately development of v1 is frozen, so I can't fulfill your request.
