TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating '= this.hiddenInput_.value = token') about bide

html5 is not used by default just because it mutates directly the url (not the uri fragment), that implies that if the user refreshes the page will get the 404 response unless the server is properly configured to return the "index.html" on all uris.

On the other hand, would be awesome have the ability to switch the implementation for users that want/need to use html5 history.

However, this error is pretty strange, I'm using bide in many projects and don't notice similar exceptions in console.

in this pull request for pushy kibu-australia/pushy@88cbb28 fragment support is added for HTML5History, so it does not seem impossible

an alternative would be to split-off the history part (make bide only for routing) and let users decide if they want to use History or HTML5History by using an add-on (such as pushy)?

regarding the error, it could be that my browser (qutebrowser) is old (webkit engine). I'll try with webengine, if the error does not show up there I rename this issue to HTML5History suppport :)

• tested with qutebrowser-webengine: same errors show up in the console.
• the errors in the console seem to popup only when changing the query part of the url using navigate!

I have pushed on master (and 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT) with html5 support. It can be enabled passing :html5 true to the opts to start! function. From now, bide uses Html5History instead of History for all cases (with and without fragment).

works, error in console is gone!
