Choice field doesn't appear to work.

[ashleydavis]

I've been trying to get a choices field into my admin page, specifically in the creation view.

I've tried the example from the documentation:

 nga.field('country', 'choice')
      .choices([
        { value: 'FR', label: 'France' },
        { value: 'US', label: 'USA' },
      ]),           

It causes the following error when opening the create page:

angular.js:13550 TypeError: t.choices is not a function

Huh. Can you expose your whole entity definition ?

[ashleydavis]

I've created a repo that demonstrates the problem. These most recent commit adds a choice field that causes the issue.

Clone this: https://github.com/Real-Serious-Games/admin-portal-template

Install dependencies:

  npm install
  cd Client
  bower install
  cd ..\

Run the server:

  cd src
  node server.js

Navigate to the customer creation screen:

http://localhost:3000/your-secret-key/#/customers/create

The following error should appear in your browser console:

angular.js:13550 TypeError: t.choices is not a function

Note that this issue only happens in the most recent commit. If you revert back to the prior commit and go to the customer creation screen there is no issue.

The code that defines the entities can be found in customize.js.

This looks to be the same issue as #778. I don't think that the fix for that issue has been released as part of 0.9.x.

Did you find a solution to this issue on 0.9.1?

Can you have a look on last master version and check if you can still reproduce the issue?
