Table | ReferenceError: Cannot access 'ColumnFilter' before initialization

[yamennassif]

Describe the bug

While running tests into my application i got the following error:

...
ReferenceError: Cannot access 'ColumnFilter' before initialization
....
import {TableModule} from "primeng/table";
....
at Object.<anonymous> (node_modules/primeng/fesm2020/primeng-table.mjs:4023:176)
at Object.<anonymous> (src/app/app.module.ts:23:1)
at Object.<anonymous> (src/app/app.component.spec.ts:8:1)
....

traced down the error in primeng-table.mjs
and the error was the class ColumnFilter was initiated after the call for it in the following line:
ColumnFilterFormElement.ɵfac = i0.ɵɵngDeclareFactory({ minVersion: "12.0.0", version: "14.0.7", ngImport: i0, type: ColumnFilterFormElement, deps: [{ token: Table }, { token: ColumnFilter }], target: i0.ɵɵFactoryTarget.Component });

simply moving the class ColumnFilter 1 line before 4023 fixed the issue and everything worked.

We're seeing the same error running PrimeNG 14.1.0, Angular 14.2.1 on Node 16.17.0

Same here. This error was introduced with version v14.1.0, two days ago

[MaximeKoitsalu]

Getting the same, error. Reverting until fix is released.

Any new news?

I have the same problem. So @yamennassif, like you, when I moved ColumnFilter on top of the line for fesm2015 it was ok.
you think it's a packager problem?

[Delagen]

@mo0om It is introduced cyclomatic dependency problem, not packager

[mo0om]

thank you @Delagen

The problem stil occurs on PrimeNG v14.1.2

I was hoping to use primeng in a new project but I have the same error with ColumFilter when running tests.

Tests are working with Karma, but not with Jest

Angular version
14.2.0

PrimeNG version
14.1.2

As a workaround, modify primeng-table.mjs is ok

Will you fix this problem in a next version ?
Thanks for your work !

This issue is not resolved getting the same error with jest on version 14.1.2.

Work around for jest users. Revert to version 14.0.1 and primeicons 5.0.0

Nobody said this. The fix is merged 2 days ago and v14.1.2 was released 22days ago. so it could never be fixed in that release 😉

[yamennassif]

Is there any idea when the next release is going to be ?

[totek]

Hello guys,
Any idea if this issue is going to be resolved anytime soon?
Many thanks!

We've encountered the same problem; upgrading to 14.2.3fixed it, it was released on 2022-12-14. I believe, this issue can be closed.
