Fails after upgrading to v6.9.0 or later

Using v6?

Yes

Using v7?

No. However, tried with v7.0.0-alpha.2, and this issue exists.

Describe the bug When updating from v6.8.6 to v6.9.0, pages with react-table fails with following error,

Cell(...): Nothing was returned from render. This usually means a return statement is missing. Or, to render nothing, return null.

Update (2019 Mar 11): Further investigation suggests that, this error appears if one or more data fields required in react-table column list are missing.

Example, assume a table that renders columns id and line. If the JSON data fed into table has entries where either id or line key-value pairs are missing, entire rendering process fails with above error.

v6.8.6 and prior were able to render empty column/cell fields, if relevant data is unavailable. It seems, this safe guard is unavailable from v6.9.0 onwards.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Prepare a working React app with react-table (v6.8.6)
2. Implement a page with working table
3. Install newer react-table version, v6.9.0 or higher using npm
4. Try to access page implemented in step 2
5. See error, should be as or similar to screenshot below

Expected behavior Should work flawlessly as in react-table v6.8.6.

I’m doing that right now actually. I plan on releasing a 6.10.0 that is a rollback + some cherry picked commits that are stable.

@tannerlinsley you could publish a 6.9.1 that is a rollback to 6.8.6 so that everyone is fixed, not just the people reporting the issue
