Was a Bug introduced and fixed recently in the area of ListGrid setSort()?

No, this doesn't look like any of the recent 5.0 bug fixes.

As far as possibly hitting this in *current* 5.1d builds, a first step is to use the instructions in the FAQ & Debugging topic to get a clear stack trace.

I too have been seeing this same issue as well, in the 5.1d builds. I tried the 5.1d build from 2015-05-21 and it's still has this issue.
In my particular case I'm calling setInitialSort(SortSpecifier[]) instead of setSort(), if this makes any difference.

Hi Isomorphic,

I have a version deployed which seems to have bug that I fixed now. Could you just confirm that there was some change and it is working as expected now?
My users hit it, not me, so this isn't very fortunate for me.

• Last working version: ? (I'd guess something like end April)
• Version with bug: v10.0p_2015-05-14
• Fixed as it seems: v10.0p_2015-05-21 (I did not check versions in between)

I get this error, which unfortunately does not say much (Eclipse GWT DevMode log):

16:25:31.609 [ERROR] [lms] Uncaught exception escaped

This is, if it happens at startup.
If it does happen later, I get this Developer Console log, which might help you:

16:42:02.882:MUP2[E0]:WARN:Log:Uncaught JavaScript exception: TypeError: this.getField(...) is null in http://localhost:8080/lms/lms/sc/modules/ISC_Grids.js?isc_version=v10.0p_2015-05-14.js, line 2613

In my application I persist sorting in the DB an re-apply on re-login with listgrid.setSortState(). If there is data, it works:
If there is no data, I apply default-sorting:

setSort(new SortSpecifier[] { new SortSpecifier(campaignLGF.getName(), SortDirection.ASCENDING) });

This causes the error.

Have there been changes in this area recently? Should be everything good now, again? For me, it seems so, but if you have an advice, what to double check, I'll happily do that.

Best regards
Blama
