Timing related crash when using api-key #271

Closed rbjarnason closed 8 years ago

rbjarnason commented 8 years ago

When use my api-key for this element, I get a crash when I first load a page using a google-map. If I navigate around paper-tabs that then use dom-if restamp to show and hide the map element, it works fine going forwards, the crash only happens when I first load the page.

Everything works fine when I don't use my api-key. Our app is a Google Maps heavy citizens participation application that is being launched with the city of Reykjavik 22. April to 10's of thousands of users for a participatory budgeting event. What are the consequences of not using the api-key? Will my maps just stop working at some point.

Here is a screenshot of the crash along with the debugger info: mapswithapikeyerror

ps. Even when I do use my api-key I seem to get warnings from google maps that I'm not using apiKey or clientId, how can this be?

How are you specifying the api key? It needs to be used as an attribute on all google maps * elements (e.g. api-key="123") so the library is loaded the same way for every component.

Thanks @ebidel I tried hard coding my api-key references and then it works as expected. The problem with timings are on my side after all, in relations to making sure api-key is set dynamically before the elements are used.
