Empty values can break plugin

[MauroMombelli]

If i add one or more 'source' and none of it has 'values', the plugin break.
If even one of them as at least one 'values' it render correctly every 'source'.

example:
[
{ "name" : "a", "desc" : "blabal", "id" : "24", "values" : [ ] },
{ "name" : "a", "desc" : "null", "id" : "25", "values" : [ ] },
{ "name" : "a", "desc" : "null", "id" : "23", "values" : [ ] },
{ "name" : "asdsa", "desc" : "null", "id" : "26", "values" : [ ] }
]

Hi @MauroMombelli, thanks for reporting this, though I'm not sure this needs to be fixed. A source with missing values is bad data, which should break ("fail-fast" behavior).

If even one of them as at least one 'values' it render correctly every 'source'.

What is correct rendering in the case where there are missing values? I think failing in this case would alert the user that there are bad data, which is probably the best option. If anything, the plugin should "break" when it encounters the first bad piece of data.

I'm closing this for now, but please comment again if there's new information or a compelling use case I haven't considered. Thanks again for the report!

i add 2 screenshot to show you the problem:
with only void value, the plugin seems to fail to load, noting is displayed but a gray border

with 2 source, one with void value and one with one value, the plugin load and display correctly even the source without value;

with source all withour value, i expect to see something like the second photo; that way my user can add a source, and then from gantt click to add one or more value on it, that because sometimes we know we have do so something (source) but it is still not scheduled (value) to someone, but we still want to see it there, as reminder

Ah, I see--thanks for the clarification! I agree with your use case, reopening.

Hello, @MauroMombelli! I think this may have been fixed sometime in the last couple of years, or I no longer understand the issue. 😅

I can't reproduce the described behavior. Can you please check with the version on the master branch and let me know? If you still find an issue, please include a link to a JSFiddle that demonstrates the bug. Thanks!

<3 unfortunately the project I was working on is long gone :/

The issue was (iirc) that a project with no day assigned was breaking the plugin (nothing loading).

The json in the first post was a "save" of the issue, so if that now show the calendar with the 4 project with no day assigned.. It works :)

Thanks for the quick feedback, @MauroMombelli! I'll close this issue, then. 👍
