destinationElement null or undefined exception

There may be other ways to trigger this, but you will definitely see the issue if you use this in conjunction with Ember Power Select. Create a new app and add the following respectively to your application controller and application template

import Controller from '@ember/controller';

export default class ApplicationController extends Controller {
  names = ['One', 'Two', 'Three']
}

<PowerSelect
  @searchEnabled={{true}}
  @options={{this.names}}
  @selected={{this.name}}
  @placeholder="Select some names..."
  @initiallyOpened={{true}}
  @onChange={{fn (mut this.name)}} as |name|>
  {{name}}
</PowerSelect>

@initiallyOpened={{true}} is the issue here. I traced the issue down to this line: https://github.com/cibernox/ember-basic-dropdown/blob/v3.0.17/addon/templates/components/basic-dropdown-content.hbs#L4

this.destinationElement is null at this moment and will throw when attempting to render into ember-basic-dropdown-wormhole DOM element since that is rendering later in DOM ordor (at the end of the page)

I took at stab at updating to ensure destinationElement is populated but not sure if this will cause any additional issues. Perhaps someone with a bit more intimate knowledge here will be able to advise.

  @tracked destinationElement: Element | null;

  constructor(owner: unknown, args: Args) {
    super(owner, args);

    this.destinationElement = null;
    next(() => {
      this.destinationElement = document.getElementById(this.args.destination);
    });
  }

this is related to cibernox/ember-power-select#1354

I am getting the same error when using named blocks.

Can you write a reproduction on a test? This is probably easy to fix with a repro on a test.

@cibernox See #619

I am getting the error using a very basic dropdown directly in the application.hbs.

<BasicDropdown as |dd|
>
  <dd.Trigger>TEST</dd.Trigger>
  <dd.Content>CONTENT</dd.Content>
</BasicDropdown>

@renderInPlace={{true}} fixes it, but breaks when rendered on the body.

Reverting to 3.0.18 fixed this for me

[jherdman]

Is there a solution outside of @renderInPlace={{true}}?

Also seeing this error.

Ran into this as well. Based on this and cibernox/ember-power-select#1354, I was able to get this workaround going in tests.

<PowerSelect
  // other args
  @initiallyOpened={{false}}
  @renderInPlace={{true}}
  as |stuff|
>
  {{stuff.andThings}}
</PowerSelect>

I encountered this error while updating ember-cached-decorator-polyfill from 0.1.4 to 1.0.1 in our app. I was able to track it down to this issue emberjs/ember-classic-decorator#99.

If you are still experiencing this issue, check if you have ember-classic-decorator in your dependencies.
