ERROR: window.history.state is null

[adichannnnnhere64]

I use SSR.
I use inertia v2
I use laravel octane

What's causing this? I can't see any fix in google.

I have the exact same thing happening to my site. I assume its a global issue.

did you manage to fix it?

[adichannnnnhere64]

clicking on an anchor tag trigger this error.

<a href="#" onClick> </a>

I removed it and it fixed the problem.

I'm having a problem similar to this

in fact the error occurs because window.history.state is null.

Yeah, I'm still randomly getting this error. I'm not sure how to reproduce it. When this error occurs, it freezes the site, and I can't navigate to any links.

I think the error is related to this one.
inertiajs/inertia#2204

@andrewperoramas I had the same issue with scrollRegions and fixed it like this for now, in your app.tsx:

if (!window.history.state) {
    window.history.replaceState({ scrollRegions: [] }, '');
}

I'll have to try that.

Thank you. I'm running into this same issue with inertiajs/inertia-laravel v2.0.1, and applying the above workaround to the app.jsx/tsx file resolved it.

For me, the error only triggers on certain pages on Chrome for android following these steps:

1. Open the problematic page in the android chrome browser (it loads normally here)
2. Go back to the android home screen
3. swipe chrome out of the recent apps list
4. Open chrome again

Upon chrome loading the same page opened in step 1, window.history.state is null causing the error Cannot read properties of null (reading 'scrollRegions') and I only see a blank page. If I reload the tab, it loads normally.

The proper fix has been applied in inertiajs/inertia, but no corresponding patch in the laravel package yet
