Draggable throwing error when can't find the element

[thinklinux 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Draggable.hitTest() trhows and error when it can't find the element:

Cannot read property 'getBoundingClientRect' of null

I found the line with _unwrapElement(e).getBoundingClientRect() in Draggable.js and fix it like that:

_unwrapElement(e) ? _unwrapElement(e).getBoundingClientRect() : false

It just returns false when there is no element or it's hidden. Everything is working now but on my side. I'm not sure that this is the right fix. I will try to reproduce the problem on codepen when I have more time if you are not aware of this behavior.

Hello thinklinux, and Welcome to the GreenSock Forum!

 

Could you please setup a limited code example so we can see your code in context.

 

Here is a great video tut by GreenSock on How to create a Codepen demo example.

 

This way we can test your code in a live editable environment to better help you!

 

Thanks

Just curious - why would you be using hitTest() on an element that doesn't exist? I hadn't really anticipated that I guess. Not sure we should add code for it. Hm.
