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

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?

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.
