this message is coming from ./node_modules/@ionic/core/dist/ionic/ionic.js

i do not have any URL property in my modal(s)

let modal= await modalController.create({
					component: FileModal,
					componentProps: {
						dialog_title: "Datasource: select folder",
						parentpath: this.thisimage.PathFromSource,
						parent: this.thisimage,
						info: this.$props.info,
						datasources: this.$props.datasources
					}
				});
				modal.present();
