DrawSVG issue with mask

[gmullinix]

I have an SVG path styled to look like a dotted line. I want the path to look like it's drawing in. I created a mask and tried to animate the mask path but it refuses to draw.

In the Codepen example, I found that the mask animation worked if I modified the SVG and gave the path a few bends. Does the straight line confuse DrawSVG because it doesn't know what the start/end points are? How can I get the straight line's mask to animate?

 

edit: Fix appears to be adding maskUnits="userSpaceOnUse" to the mask definition in the SVG. Stack Overflow link

Yep, masks can be fussy like that. Glad to hear you solved it.

Happy tweening.
