Cannot instantiate an AjaxBootstrapSelect instance without selectpicker first being initialized!

I’m trying to use this awesome plugin in a BS modal but I got this:

Cannot instantiate an AjaxBootstrapSelect instance without selectpicker first being initialized!

a piece of code:

selectPartner = jQuery('.select-partner'); selectPartner.selectpicker({ bindEvent: 'keyup paste' }).ajaxSelectPicker({

I’ve tried wrapping ‘ajaxSelectPicker’ in a setTimout and it seems to work.

There is option to use $(“select.your-ajax-select-class”), not only id. It works in my case.

@dmazilov 's solution works perfectly.

The reason we were seeing that error was because we call this function multiple times… First time, $(“.your-ajax-select-class”)… works just fine.

However, selectpicker puts the same class on the div it creates around the <select> for its own display

Now the next time we do $(“.your-ajax-select-class”)… It tries to add ajaxselectpicker to the div and it fails.

Hence, $(“select.your-ajax-select-class”) solves the issue
