Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of null in bootstrap-tagsinput.js.

The dataset is returning null. Also when I press enter nothing happens.

//bootstrap-tagsinput.js. line 354
$.fn.typeahead.apply(self.$input, typeaheadjs).on('typeahead:selected', $.proxy(function (obj, datum, name) {
          var index = 0;
          typeaheadjs.some(function(dataset, _index) {console.log(dataset);
            if (dataset.name === name) {
              index = _index;
              return true;
            }
            return false;
          });

I did not used grunt because it is not working. This is what I have in my index.php:

    var cities = new Bloodhound({

        queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
        prefetch: 'cities.json'
    });
    cities.initialize();

    var elt = $('input');
    elt.tagsinput({
        itemValue: 'value',
        itemText: 'text',
        typeaheadjs: {
            name: 'cities',
            displayKey: 'text',
            source: cities.ttAdapter()
        }
    });
    elt.tagsinput('add', { "value": 1 , "text": "Amsterdam"   , "continent": "Europe"    });
    elt.tagsinput('add', { "value": 4 , "text": "Washington"  , "continent": "America"   });
    elt.tagsinput('add', { "value": 7 , "text": "Sydney"      , "continent": "Australia" });
    elt.tagsinput('add', { "value": 10, "text": "Beijing"     , "continent": "Asia"      });

same problem. Did you solve it?

Hi there, the issue is caused by:

var typeaheadjs = self.options.typeaheadjs;
        if (!$.isArray(typeaheadjs)) {
            typeaheadjs = [null, typeaheadjs];
        }

This piece of code is adding a null value at the beginning of the typeaheadjs array. So later in the code the instructions:

typeaheadjs.some(function(dataset, _index) {
            if (dataset.name === name) {
              index = _index;
              return true;
            }
            return false;
          });

are throwing the exception. I didn't explore why the null as first element is needed, so my workaround is:

typeaheadjs.some(function(dataset, _index) {
            if (dataset != null && dataset.name === name) {
              index = _index;
              return true;
            }
            return false;
          });
