calling swal.close() or swal.closeModal() from a separate function does not work

Hi limonte,

I’m a long time sweetalert user, from the original, to yours, and I use it extensively in many of my projects - so I wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work. I upgraded to the latest version in order to fix some bugs, and it seemed to break the functionality I had of calling swal.close() or swal.closeModal() from a separate function.

function add_something() {
   
   htmlString =  '<div class="add_something_header"> <i class="fa fa-plus fa-gray"></i></div>'+                
                '<div class="help_holder">'+
                '<div id="as_body" class="as_body"></div></div>'+
                '<div id="add_something_footer" class="add_something_footer"><div class="footer_buttons_holder"><div onclick="close_swal()" class="footer_cancel_button">CANCEL</div></div></div>';
                   
  swal({
    html  : htmlString,
    width : 1100,
    showConfirmButton: false,
    showCancelButton: false,
    allowOutsideClick: false
    },
    function(isConfirm) {
      if (isConfirm) {
      } else { 
      }
  });
}

`

Clicking on the above CANCEL button should run the function close_swal(), and it does, but the swal-related code inside does not trigger.

function close_swal() { console.log("Closing swal..."); swal.close(); //also tried swal.closeModal(); }

This worked fine in the older version of sweetalert2 that I was using (from 2015), but not in 6.3.8.

If I try to mimic the close functionality by running swal.clickCancel(); , I get an error in sweetalert2.js:

// Clicked 'cancel' } else if (targetedCancel && sweetAlert.isVisible()) { sweetAlert.closeModal(params.onClose); reject('cancel'); //on this line }

Sorry, but I’m closing this. Please put more effort into making question/jsfiddle in future.

No worries - I think it may be something on my end as even simple swals are not working. Sorry to waste your time - and still, thank you so much for your hard work on this project. 😃
