DatePicker: JavaScript error during ajax request

Describe the defect The datePicker widget javascript contains the method “_destroy” which gets called during an ajax request when the component is rerendered. This destroy method calls 2 methods: this.restoreOverlayAppend() and this.onOverlayHide() - neither function seems to be defined anywhere and creates javascript errors.

Reproducer

Environment:

• PF Version: 8.0
• JSF + version: MyFaces 2.3.6
• Affected browsers: ALL

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup page with example xhtml below
2. Monitor for javascript errors
3. Click button “click for javascript error”
4. See error: “this.restoreOverlayAppend is not a function”

Expected behavior The datePicker destroy code should succeed without javascript errors.

Example XHTML

<h:form>
	<p:datePicker id="dp" />

	<p:commandButton id="ajaxButton"
	                 value="click for javascript error"
	                 process="dp"
	                 update="dp" />
</h:form>

Example Bean no bean required

Most likely not in 8.0 as the fix is already included in 10.0.0 and 11.0.0 and you have the MonkeyPatch you can use above for 8.0
