TypeError: n.__ is not a function when rendering the Component

[t-schlarb]

We currently use the @viselect/preact": "^3.0.0 without any issues.
After an upgrade to the latest @viselect/preact": "^3.5.0 Version, we do get the following error during the rendering process of the component:

flushAfterPaintEffects (http://localhost:5173/node_modules/preact/hooks/src/index.js#424)
TypeError: n.__ is not a function

The Error can be reproduced with the following dependencies:

{
"private": true,
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"dev": "vite",
"build": "vite build",
"preview": "vite preview"
},
"dependencies": {
"@preact/signals": "^1.2.2",
"@viselect/preact": "^3.5.0",
"chart.js": "^4.4.1",
"dexie": "^3.2.4",
"preact": "^10.19.3",
"preact-iso": "^2.3.2",
"preact-render-to-string": "^6.3.1",
"primeicons": "^6.0.1",
"primereact": "^10.3.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@preact/preset-vite": "^2.8.1",
"eslint": "^8.52.0",
"eslint-config-preact": "^1.3.0",
"typescript": "^5.3.3",
"vite": "^5.0.11"
}
}

This looks like a bug in preact to me? Since the error is not in any file that corresponds to this package?

Hi Simon,

thank you for your response.
After some further debugging, there seems to be an exception everytime a javascript event is triggered within the SelectionArea. If, for instance, i try to select something within the SelectionArea, the following exception is thrown within the useState- Hook of the SelectionArea Component (Currently using node v18.19.0):

SelectionArea.tsx:26 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Te is not a function or its return value is not iterable

Can you reproduce that on the demos or create a codesandbox?

[t-schlarb]

Hi Simon,

I tried to reproduce it with your existing sample in codesandbox. I forked your existing demo, and just changed the version within the package.json (from @viselect/preact": "3.0.0" to @viselect/preact": "^3.5.0":

https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/viselect-preact-forked-xvrh2d

I also made another forked project by just changing the package.json to the same dependencies that we are currently using within our project. This package.json has a more recent dependency tree:

https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/viselect-preact-forked-5jx6hk

In both samples, the selection event does trigger an exception.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,
Thomas
