Crashes when using 'indent' or 'outdent' buttons directly

steps to reproduce

1. Include one toolbar item such as ['para', ['ul', 'ol', 'indent', 'outdent']], for example.
2. Attempt to initialize using, in my case $('.rich-edit').summernote(...).
3. The editor partially sets up, but doesn’t complete, leaving the textarea visible and missing some toolbar buttons.

browser version and os version

Browser: Google Chrome 56.0.2924.76 (64-bit) O/S: Linux 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.2.6-3~bpo8+2 (2015-12-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Console error obtained:

Uncaught TypeError: o.append is not a function
  at Renderer.render (http://localhost:1084/client.js:8:1854)
...
summernote.js:1839
...

This corresponds to src/js/base/renderer.js line 39 in version 0.8.2 (latest on NPM):

  if ($parent) {
    $parent.append($node);
  }

Using paragraph works fine, this is only when I try to use indent and outdent directly (with or without paragraph also present). I read #1576 and the associated commits, but cannot understand what’s happening at this level. It seems it may have worked in 0.7.2 and regressed at some point since.

why is this closed? I have the exact same problem. it’s not jquery. it’s the use of [‘para’, [‘ul’, ‘ol’, ‘indent’, ‘outdent’]] that bugs it out.

I faced this issue too. I’ve fixed it by just adding a check into Renderer.prototype.render if $parent is a jQuery object. I’m not sure if it’s correct or not but it works for me. Here it is at the end of the method:

    Renderer.prototype.render = function ($parent) {
        var $node = $$1(this.markup);
        <...>
        // added check for jQuery object
        if ($parent && $parent instanceof jQuery) {
            $parent.append($node);
        }
        return $node;
    };

The only problem was with attaching this fixed code as we use Node.js and pull this from NPM repo. Fortunately it was found out that we have local NPM registry in our company so I just used it to download fixed code and set our artifactory as default NPM registry.
