Bootstrap-select: Cannot read property 'className' of undefined

[Mobe91]

When I create a select control without any options and with width: auto, I get the following error during initialization:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'className' of undefined
    at Selectpicker.liHeight (bootstrap-select.js:1474)
    at eval (bootstrap-select.js:1716)

When I remove the width: auto option the initialization succeeds but I get the following error when I click on the select control:

bootstrap-select.js:1474 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'className' of undefined
    at Selectpicker.liHeight (bootstrap-select.js:1474)
    at Selectpicker.setSize (bootstrap-select.js:1672)
    at HTMLButtonElement.eval (bootstrap-select.js:1994)
    at HTMLButtonElement.dispatch (jquery.js:5183)
    at HTMLButtonElement.elemData.handle (jquery.js:4991)

I am using bootstrap-select v1.13.2

@caseyjhol Oh you have already fixed that. Nice! 👍

[kriit24]

in bootsrap-select.js line 1063 i change the code
if (this.options.title && !this.multiple) {
TO
if (this.options.title /&& !this.multiple/) {

and now it works, but a am sure that "!this.multiple" is needed

@caseyjhol Hello, thanks for the fix. Can you tag this fix?

I am experiencing the same problem. It occurs in v1.13.2 but not in v1.13.1 so I have downgraded for now. This happens when there are no options in the select element. In my case I was able to narrow the offending line down to the following:

https://github.com/snapappointments/bootstrap-select/blob/f629d2f98e05c5cbc8a5feed030286bbf07525c5/js/bootstrap-select.js#L1448

Where className does not exist on this.$element.find('option')[0] because there are no options and index 0 is undefined.

I am getting the same error. But in my case the select already has options, and I am checking whether the select contains particular options. If it does, then I am forcing the option to toggle selected, and then I am refreshing the select with this : '$('.selectpicker').selectpicker('refresh');`
That is where the error is thrown.

Here is my code:

 var modal = $("div#editUserActivity");
    modal.find("input[name$=activity_name]").attr('value', data.activity.activity_name);
    modal.find('#activity_description').text(data.activity.activity_description);

$.each( data.activity.focuses, function(index, value) {
         if (modal.find('#activity_focus option[value="'+ value.id +'"]').length !== 0) {
                modal.find('#activity_focus').prop('selected', true).val(value.id);
        } else {
                modal.find('#activity_focus').append($('<option />').val(value.id).text(value.primary_focus).attr('selected', 'selected'));
       }

        modal.find('.selectpicker').selectpicker('refresh'); <-- where error is thrown.
 });

The error thrown:

app.js?id=289c53d38b0c16fad0d1:3502 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'className' of undefined
    at Selectpicker.liHeight (app.js?id=289c53d38b0c16fad0d1:3502)

It looks like if I access selectpicker by the the id selector instead of by the class the error is no longer emitted.
So in this case : modal.find('#activity_focus').selectpicker('refresh');

This seems to solve my problem.
I don't know what this says about other probably reasons for this error though.

Thank you for your time.
