Bug #91293

FlexForm with inline field leads to console error "this.container is null"
Added by Alex Kellner over 4 years ago.
Updated almost 2 years ago.
Description
TYPO3 10.4.1
We have an own extension with a plugin and in this a FlexForm configuration where we can select some records.
Everything worked well with TYPO3 8.
Now, after updating, it's not possible to see an inline record by clicking the "+ Create New" button in FlexForm.
The browser console leads to
"this.container is null"
Example FlexForm Configuration how to reproduce:
<T3DataStructure>
<meta>
<langDisable>1</langDisable>
</meta>
<sheets>
<main>
<ROOT>
<TCEforms>
<sheetTitle>Test</sheetTitle>
</TCEforms>
<type>array</type>
<el>
<settings.ce>
<TCEforms>
<label>Test</label>
<config>
<type>inline</type>
<foreign_table>tt_content</foreign_table>
<foreign_field>t3ver_oid</foreign_field>
<foreign_sortby>sorting</foreign_sortby>
<foreign_label>header</foreign_label>
<maxitems>1</maxitems>
</config>
</TCEforms>
</settings.ce>
</el>
</ROOT>
</main>
</sheets>
</T3DataStructure>
Note: We do not use tt_content and not the field t3ver_oid for building relations. That is just the testcase for you.

can you retest on master, just added
<settings.ce>
<TCEforms>
<label>Test</label>
<config>
<type>inline</type>
<foreign_table>tt_content</foreign_table>
<maxitems>1</maxitems>
</config>
</TCEforms>
</settings.ce>
to a flexform and it worked.
- I retestet with master branch (dev-master in composer.json) in the project of the university - without success
- I also removed all other third-party extensions and dismantled the function in the effected extension - without success
- After this I went to my local powermail test instance, installed dev-master of TYPO3 and changed the EXT:powermail/Configuration/FlexForms/FlexformPi1.xml to this content:
<T3DataStructure>
<meta>
<langDisable>1</langDisable>
</meta>
<sheets>
<main>
<ROOT>
<TCEforms>
<sheetTitle>Test</sheetTitle>
</TCEforms>
<type>array</type>
<el>
<settings.ce>
<TCEforms>
<label>Test</label>
<config>
<type>inline</type>
<foreign_table>tt_content</foreign_table>
<maxitems>1</maxitems>
</config>
</TCEforms>
</settings.ce>
</el>
</ROOT>
</main>
</sheets>
</T3DataStructure>
Same failure (Firefox on Ubuntu) in browser console when opening the plugin: "TypeError: this.container is null" in "InlineControlContainer.js:13:2271"
Clicking on "+ Create new" does not work
After that I switched to Chrome (still on Ubuntu).
Error in Browserconsole is a bit different but with the same effect:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'dataset' of null
at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (InlineControlContainer.js?bust=1588757745:13)
at mightThrow (jquery.js?bust=1588757745:3557)
at process (jquery.js?bust=1588757745:3625)
Hi,
the error is caused by the dot in variable name.
I think, this needs some escaping for calls like
this.container = document.querySelector("#" + e) in backend/Resources/Public/JavaScript/FormEngine/Container/InlineControlContainer.js
I've workarounded this in my project by renaming variables like settings.image to image.
Regards,
Marco
Hi Alex,
I just checked TYPO3 master and also again stable LTS 10.4.9 with latest powermail and it works for me on FF81 (mac). could you please recheck?
