ReferenceError: event is not defined in FireFox

[DennisKh]

ReferenceError: event is not defined
exec_elixir http://local.com/:187
event_handler_function http://local.com/:1021

I use {:drab, "~> 0.10.1"}
Explain what's wrong. Everything works in Chrome.

Has fixed it as follows. Works for me for now but it's not a right solution.

exec_elixir: function (event_handler, payload, execute_after) {
      var reply_to = did();
      if (!(payload !== null && typeof payload === 'object' && Array.isArray(payload) === false))
        payload = {payload: payload};
      var p = {};
      for (var i = 0; i < Drab.additional_payloads.length; i++) {
        var fx = Drab.additional_payloads[i];
/////////////// My code
        var event = event
        if (typeof(event) == "undefined") {
          event = new Event('click');
        }
//////////////
        p = Object.assign(p, fx(null, event));
      }
      payload = Object.assign(p, payload);
      if (execute_after) {
        Drab.event_reply_table[reply_to] = execute_after;
      }
      var message = {
        event_handler_function: event_handler,
        payload: payload,
        reply_to: reply_to
      };
      this.channel.push("event", message);
    }

👍 I'm also running into this in Firefox. Are you looking for any help on a fix?
And thanks for all the great work on Drab! It's a ton of fun to use.

In case this is helpful, looks like it is from this commit and the fact that Firefox has the global event variable behind a flag: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/event.

Hi Annie, please check the version form the master, should be fixed.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick fix and for all your other work on Drab.

Thank you for the quick fix!

Hi @grych

You already have an event in the payload, at least if the error appears after a "drab-click" event.
Sorry that I did not had time to look thru the code to see how and when that is added to the payload and if it's added to all calls to exec_elixir, but might worth to extract the event from the payload if available first, then fallback to the "new Click" workaround provided by @DennisKh .

Cheers and thank you for all your great work on Drab,
Radu

Hi @marisradu,
what do you mean by that?
