Having a weird issue. In my Dart code I have some polymer components on the screen and one of them has a method I call from my main().
I grab a reference to it by doing
PolyComp poly = querySelector("#idOfPolymer");
poly.flash();
This works perfectly in dart. The page loads up and PolyComp starts to flash. However when I run this in Chrome by running Build Polymer app from the Dart IDE, I get an error that says cannot call flash() on null.
I ended up making it flash by just using an event bus and letting PolyComp listen to my event, but this is overkill.
What am I doing wrong? This happens in the latest Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
Edit:
I built the following polymer app to JS also and ran into the same issue. https://github.com/sethladd/dart-polymer-dart-examples/blob/master/web/todo_element/todo.html
Works on DartVM, not in Chrome because its calling a method on a null element.
When you run this code from the main()
method it is probably a timing issue.
You can try something like
import "package:polymer/polymer.dart";
main() {
initPolymer().run(() {
// code here works most of the time
Polymer.onReady.then((e) {
// some things must wait until onReady callback is called
});
});
}
