This may just be a problem with TypeScript being too picky, because
- you may disable the error messages using
// @ts-ignoreand compile again - the tests will run fine then.
but since I'm new to GrapesJS, I can not judge myself. Anyway, it's normally not a good idea to just // @ts-ignore TypeScript errors...

Thanks @rozek I'll fix it now
thank you very much!
Thanks for reporting this, @rozek.
The issue with latest version (commit 4f0c5b1) no longer compiles without errors appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order β make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system β listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
