SideMenu: Cannot read property 'enableAnimation' of undefined

ionic-v1
1

When attempting to $scope.sideMenuController.toggleLeft() I get the following error:

Cannot read property 'enableAnimation' of undefined

This was after a recent upgrade to the latest Ionic today. Am I missing a file or something?

Are you using the nightly builds?

sideMenuController has been renamed $ionicSideMenusController

I updated to the latest version available on the Ionic website when clicking the “download” button.

I think I saw this earlier; it was due to a small mistake. Are you sure you’re using ion-side-menu-content instead of side-menu-content?

Yes, I am using ion-side-menu-content:

<ion-side-menus>
  <ion-pane ion-side-menu-content>
  </ion-pane>
  <ion-side-menu side="left">
    Foo
  </ion-side-menu>
</ion-side-menus>

Can you make a codepen with the error, then? Then we could figure it out.

Apparently this.content is undefined in Ionic.js:7003. Do I need to have this side-menu within some other construct so that the content will be set?

Anyone have any ideas on this? Did anything change here recently? Here is my HTML. I’m on Ionic 0.9.27:

<ion-content>
<ion-side-menus>
  <ion-pane ion-side-menu-content>
    <ion-tabs tabs-style="tabs-icon-only" tabs-type="tabs-assertive" ng-controller="TabsController">
      <ion-tab title="Inbox" badge="inboxCount()" icon="icon ion-android-inbox" href="#/tab/inbox">
        <ion-nav-view name="inbox-tab"></ion-nav-view>
      </ion-tab>

      <ion-tab title="Yours" badge="yoursCount()" icon="icon ion-android-contact" href="#/tab/yours">
        <ion-nav-view name="yours-tab"></ion-nav-view>
      </ion-tab>

      <ion-tab title="Waiting" badge="waitingCount()" icon="icon ion-clock" href="#/tab/waiting">
        <ion-nav-view name="waiting-tab"></ion-nav-view>
      </ion-tab>

      <ion-tab title="Replied" icon="icon ion-reply" href="#/tab/replied">
        <ion-nav-view name="replied-tab"></ion-nav-view>
      </ion-tab>
    </ion-tabs>
  </ion-pane>

  <ion-side-menu side="left">
    Foo
  </ion-side-menu>

  <ion-side-menu side="right">
    Foo
  </ion-side-menu>
</ion-side-menus>
</ion-content>

$scope.sideMenuController.toggleLeft();
