clearLayers throws an error: Cannot read property 'length' of null

See original GitHub issue

When calling LayerGroup#clearLayers, an exception is thrown on this line: https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.draw/blob/c6af99b761c5d9900bf5a3e2e1d8827bbde29542/src/edit/handler/Edit.SimpleShape.js#L66

Error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null
    at NewClass.removeHooks (leaflet.draw-src.js:2379)
    at NewClass.eval (leaflet.draw-src.js:2795)
    at NewClass.fire (leaflet-src.js:593)
    at NewClass.removeLayer (leaflet-src.js:6573)
    at NewClass.removeLayer (leaflet-src.js:6715)

    at NewClass.eachLayer (leaflet-src.js:6774)
    at NewClass.clearLayers (leaflet-src.js:6735)

Can you check first for null, before iterating the _resizeMarkers, please?

Environment:

leaflet: 1.3.1
leaflet-draw: 1.0.2

Thanks!

I had same error during adding/removing shapes.

I’ve fixed the error by disabling editing mode before removing the layer.

layer.editing.disable(); that.drawGroup.removeLayer(layer);
