Unable to get property 'getCursorPosition' of undefined or null reference

[simeonpashley]

When using v2.5.0, I see numerous entries in Sentry with the same error report. I haven't used previous versions so I don't know if this is a new issue.

Unable to get property 'getCursorPosition' of undefined or null reference

In the code excerpt below, it implies that this.core is null/undefined

            this.schedulActivation(this.props.hoverDelayInMs);
        }
    }, {
        key: 'onMouseMove',
        value: function onMouseMove(e) {
            this.setPositionState(this.core.getCursorPosition(e));
        }
    }, {
        key: 'onMouseLeave',
        value: function onMouseLeave() {
            this.clearActivationTimers();

All the issues seem to be IE11 / Edge....

Hi @simeonpashley - Thanks for reporting this issue. I released a possible fix in version 2.5.1-0. Please try it by installing [email protected]. In case you are interested, the branch with the changes is named issue24. Please let me know your findings. ~Ethan

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

FYI I'm using a component react-image-magnify, which uses your component

[ethanselzer]

Thank you for trying version 2.5.1-0. I appreciate it.

I had a look at react-image-magnify. It seems like it specifies version 2.4.1 of react-cursor-position. I'm wondering if you know why you have [email protected]

@simeonpashley - I am able to reproduce the issue you identified in Windows Edge. I think it is corrected in v3.0.0. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention. I appreciate it!

Anyone experiencing the "Unable to get property 'getCursorPosition' of undefined or null reference" issue in MS Edge, and also want the v2.x API, you can try v2.5.3.

@simeonpashley - Thanks again for opening this issue. I'm closing it as fixed in latest and v2.5.3. Please let me know if you don't think it has been corrected.

@ethanselzer Hi, I got this error from Sentry with v3.0.3

ReactCursorPosition.js:164 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getCursorPosition' of undefined
   at t.value (ReactCursorPosition.js:164)

Hi @kimsangw - Thanks for the information. Do you know if Sentry can provide details about the browser/OS? Also is there a high rate of this error?

[kimsangw]

@ethanselzer there isn't any details about the browser but the rate of error is low.

[ethanselzer]

@kimsangw - Thanks for following up. I will investigate.

Hi @ethanselzer, sentry is sending at least one time per day this error. I was also thinking is was an IE-only bug, but the last report was for Chrome. Here is the details about the user:

Browser: Chrome 81.0.4044
browser.name: Chrome
device: Mac
device.family: Mac
os: Mac OS X 10.11.6
os.name: Mac OS X
url: https://teamstarter.co/

The code breaks here:

    });
    }
  }, {
    key: 'onClick',
    value: function onClick(e) {
      this.setPositionState(this.core.getCursorPosition(e)); <--- HERE
      this.mouseActivation.mouseClicked();
      this.onMouseDetected();
    }
  }, {
    key: 'onTouchDetected',
