Yii2: Pjax submit() error: Uncaught expected string value for 'container' option; got object

[anuark]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Clicking on a link with yii.js data-method form inside a Pjax widget like in the following code:

Pjax::begin();
echo Html::a('test', ['test'], ['class' => 'btn btn-primary', 'data' => ['method' => 'post', 'pjax' => true]]);
Pjax::end();

Will result in the following exception:

| Q | A
| ---------------- | ---
| Yii version | 2.0.12
| yii2-pjax version | 2.0.7
| PHP version | 7.1
| Operating system | Windows

Should be already fixed by https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/commit/7e681b4a5620b133ed7b68388845a7b89279e193

Could you check with yiisoft/yii2:dev-master?

[anuark]

@SilverFire it works on dev-master thanks. On a side note is there a way for my project to rollback yii2-pjax to use 2.0.6 instead of 2.0.7? I can't use dev-master on production site, I have tried adding on require "bower-asset/yii2-pjax": "2.0.6" in composer.json but I get

The requested package bower-asset/yii2-pjax 2.0.6 exists as bower-asset/yii2-pjax[2.0.7, v1.8.0-patch1, dev-heroku, dev-master, 2.0.7] but these are rejected by your constraint.

Am I doing this wrong? or is there no way to install version 2.0.6 of yii2-pjax?

Thanks.

[SilverFire]

This way is absolutely correct, I've checked it. You can try to do it on clear application template to make sure it works.

Sometimes composer fails to resolve dependencies, especially when you rollback a package. Try to remove vendor dir and run composer install. Then, if fails, remove vendor and composer.lock and run composer install.

[anuark]

Thank you @SilverFire that worked.

I'm getting this error too.
I have delete vendor dir and composer.lock file. In "composer.json" I change yiisoft/yii2 branch to :dev-master. Then I've run "composer install".
In sum I have Jquery 3*, Pjax 2.0.7.1, but error is still there.

Uncaught expected string value for 'container' option; got object on click Pjax links.
What wrong am I doing? And what is stable version of yii2+yii2-pjax?

I am use these to fix Uncaught expected string value for 'container' option; got object on Pjax links

Pjax::begin();
echo Html::a('test', 'javascript:void(0)', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary', 'onclick' => '$.pjax({ url: "/users/profile", container: "#pjax-container" })']);
Pjax::end();
