md-autocomplete TypeError with Angular 1.4.1

[villelahdenvuo]

When typing into the input I get:

TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'ctrl' in *

* searchString is what I typed in the field.

@robertmesserle - is this an AngularJS issue or an Angular Material issue?

[villelahdenvuo]

@ThomasBurleson There is no problem with Angular Material 0.10.0, after upgradign to 0.10.1-rc1 the problem occurs. I tried to debug it, but it is in some function that Angular generates on runtime, so it's a bit tricky to track down.

[nextor2k]

in 0.10.1-rc1 (or master) using angular 1.4.1+ the error occurs.

@ThomasBurleson This was from a recent PR that was merged (it's on our end) - committing a fix now.

@robertmesserle Your fix breaks mdSelectedItemChange if it expects the selected item to be passed in as a parameter. This use to work but your fix essentially removed the argument.

You can work around this by binding something to mdSelectedItem and using that object instead of the argument to mdSelectedItemChange but I think it'd be good to mention this in the change log as it tripped me up. I had to step through a few commits related to auto complete to find it.

[robertmesserle]

@epelc This was intentional (for now) - the idea is that the user has access to these values through bindings; however, I am going to re-introduce that functionality today.

[robertmesserle]

@epelc Committing the change now, including unit-test

@robertmesserle Thanks I'll let you know if it works

[epelc]

@robertmesserle It works! Thanks for fixing this.
