Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "slice", s is undefined

[hexagon6]

In mashlib, using the deployed databrowser: https://solidos.github.io/mashlib/dist/browse.html for my own solid pod, the TypeError message mentioned in the title occurs.

When I try to add a new item by clicking on the + sign in my pod, nothing happens in the UI

and in the dev console I can see this error trace:

I assume the switch case of case 'BlankNode' does not assign the lab variable, therefore the .slice does not exist on undefined.

Good catch! Yes lab is indeed undefined for blank nodes:

solid-panes/src/outline/manager.js

Line 239 in 6468b81

case 'BlankNode': // TBD

It should be checked for existence before calling slice

lab = lab ? lab.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + lab.slice(1) : '...'

Here's the code that has an issue

    let lab
    switch (predicate.termType) {
      case 'BlankNode': // TBD
        predicateTD.className = 'undetermined'
        break
      case 'NamedNode':
        lab = UI.utils.predicateLabelForXML(predicate, inverse)
        break
      case 'Collection': // some choices of predicate
        lab = UI.utils.predicateLabelForXML(predicate.elements[0], inverse)
    }
    lab = lab.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + lab.slice(1)
