I’m trying to use the vuejs version of handsontable in a chrome extension and the usage example in github seems to work just fine until I try to add/use contextMenu or dropdownMenu. I’m using this boilerplate.

Uncaught TypeError: Right-hand side of 'instanceof' is not callable
at Cursor.getSourceType (cursor.js:76)

Hi @paakkoj

First of all, vue-web-extension is not our extension.
So it’s hard for me to say the source of this error.

Nevertheless, it would be great if you could share a demo where the issue is replicable.
I’ll try to help.

Right, I just mentioned the boilerplate to make sure I include all relevant information because I was under the impression this error had to do with using vue-handsontable inside a Chrome extension. Turns out it was not. I started making an example project and surprise surprise, the barebones example worked just fine.

I traced the issue to a very ambiguously named event bus that I was using global.Event = new Vue();. Renaming it resolved the errors.
