Error: getRectForRef - current is not set (Unhandled Promise Rejection) iOS

[cormacbeagan]

Describe the bug

'Error: getRectForRef - current is not set' is being thrown when a replace (replace, native back navigation) navigation (native-stack) is being triggered from popover.
Behaves slightly differently when built with or without hermes:

With Hermes:

  ERROR  Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory 
  leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in the componentWillUnmount method.
    in AdaptivePopover
  WARN  Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0):
  Error: getRectForRef - current is not set
  Error: getRectForRef - current is not set

Or just:

WARN  Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 1):
Error: getRectForRef - current is not set
Error: getRectForRef - current is not set

Without Hermes:

  ERROR  Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory 
  leak 
  in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in the componentWillUnmount method.
    in AdaptivePopover

Causes screen freezes and crashes on big busy ipad app.
I am happy to have a dig at finding a solution and creating a PR but I will need input on how to resolve the issue.
I have not tested on Android.

Minimal Reproducable Example

Run ios and then notice the error when navigation from screen 2 to screen 1 - using navigation.navigate removes screen 2 from the stack and navigates to screen 1

Not sure if it's related, but I'm getting that same error "getRectForRef" on android when handling popover visibility through state rather than ref.

[cormacbeagan]

Try setting the useNativeDriver to false for the animations and see if it changes anything.
Like this:

animationConfig={{
          duration: 70,
          useNativeDriver: false,
        }}

[stevewillard]

I'm seeing this behavior too, when I conditionally render a Popover, as opposed to just using isVisible

[pierroo]

Try setting the useNativeDriver to false for the animations and see if it changes anything. Like this:

animationConfig={{
          duration: 70,
          useNativeDriver: false,
        }}

Unfortunately still facing the warning with this config

[thimo1]

same issue, is there any working fix/workaround?

[cormacbeagan]

Using Patch Package I was able to get it working.
In Popover.js line 850 in the dist folder you need to change:
callback: function () { return setTimeout(_this.props.onCloseComplete); },
To this
callback: function () { return _this.props.onCloseComplete(); },
So you have

BasePopover.prototype.animateOut = function () {
        var _this = this;
        if (this.props.onCloseStart)
            setTimeout(this.props.onCloseStart);
        if (this._isMounted)
            this.setState({ showing: false });
        this.animateTo({
            values: this.state.animatedValues,
            fade: 0,
            scale: 0,
            translatePoint: this.getTranslateOrigin(),
            callback: function () { return _this.props.onCloseComplete(); },
            easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.quad),
            geom: this.getGeom()
        });
    };

To get it running on production builds properly I also needed to add:
animationConfig={{ useNativeDriver: false, }}
As props to the Popover component.

[evelant]

Also seeing this clogging up my error reporting. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems but it is causing thousands of error reports to come in.

[Munir-Hassan]

You guys found any solution to this problem?

[RavenJock]

I encountered this warning when the source component was removed from the hierarchy. I found that making the source component a forwardRef fixed it for me.

const SafePopoverSource = forwardRef<View, ViewProps>(
  function EllipsisContainer(props, ref) {
    return (
      <View ref={ref} {...props}>
        {props.children}
      </View>
    );
  },
);

...

<SafePopoverSource ref={popoverSource}>
/* children */
</SafePopoverSource>

[Edit] This appeared to fix the issue this morning, but now the warning is back. Not a fix.

[rampazzo1989]

Facing the same problem on a menu option to delete a item: when deleted, the item is removed from it's parent and with it the whole popover. So it gives me the warning. If I wait like 2 seconds it doesn't warn.

[jarredkenny]

Also experiencing this on web. When it happens on the web it locks up the entire app until reloaded.

I'm facing the exact same issue, any update on a fix ?

[zackify]

it seems this isn't maintained at all. this error is coming in a lot for me as well...
