Get non-existent series now crashes with TypeError: item.options is null

[weakunix]

Highcharts.StockChart.get("seriesid") has an obvious bug in 5.0.6, (line 14511 of highstock.src.js):

function itemById(item) {
    return item.id === id || item.options.id === id;
}

should read:

return item.id === id || (item.options != null && item.options.id === id);

Hi @weakunix

Any chance to reproduce the issue? For me it works fine: http://jsfiddle.net/43gctL1f/

Thanks!

Ok, it's a tricky one and it only fails when a setData is called on an existing series without redraw AND the number of points have been changed: http://jsfiddle.net/43gctL1f/9/

Can you remove the "Cant reproduce" label now?

Just to add, when I originally said "obviously", I meant purely from a code robustness standpoint, in the sense that while it's relatively easy to make sure itemById is called with item never being null (since it's basically a lambda expression used locally in get), it's less easy to enforce that item.options never being null. In general, the safest code would be:

return (item !=null && item.id === id) || (item != null && item.options != null && item.options.id === id);
