Element ref was specified as a string (view) but no owner was set when fork and edit the repo










1















I was working on a react project and using react-big-calendar. We need a feature that isn't supported yet by react-big-calendar, so I forked the project, updated the code (checked it locally with yarn run examples) and commit to the GitHub.



My updated repo link



I've tried to install the repo with these commands:



yarn install https://github.com/EngrKhizarIqbal/react-big-calendar/tarball/b8e3881ab7b3b4722406f9ede35f2c1f96eadc5b
yarn install https://github.com/EngrKhizarIqbal/react-big-calendar.git
yarn install https://github.com/EngrKhizarIqbal/react-big-calendar/tarball/master
yarn install E:/Web/React/ReactCalander/react-big-calendar


I also navigated to the node_modules/react-big-calendar and run the following scripts



yarn install
yarn run build


So, when I am trying to use this updated package in a project, I'm getting the following error.




Element ref was specified as a string (view) but no owner was set.



This could happen for one of the following reasons:



  1. You may be adding a ref to a function component

  2. You may be adding a ref to a component that was not created inside a component's render method

  3. You have multiple copies of React loaded



Here is the package.json of the project where I'm using updated-repo



"dependencies": 
"react-dom": "16.5.2",
"react-scripts": "2.0.3",
"moment": "^2.22.2",
"react-big-calendar": "E:/Web/React/ReactCalander/r/react-big-calendar",
"react-scripts": "2.1.1"
,
"scripts":
"prestart": "cls",
"start": "react-scripts start",
"prebuild": "cls",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
,


It is the first time I'm modifying an open souce project.



Thanks in advance for your help.
