Ko.toJSON ($ root, null, 2) return error
I am trying to debug ko (version: 2.2.1) using the tag <pre>
:
<pre data-bind="text:ko.toJSON($root,null,2)"></pre>
but I am getting this:
Uncaught Error: Unable to parse bindings.
Message: TypeError: Object object has no method 'getType';
Bindings value: text:ko.toJSON($root,null,2)
UPDATE:
It seems that the $ root object is actually a Windows object, why is this happening, how can I make sure it stays within the scope of my ViewModel?
The script looks like this:
I have a view that also contains a popup template. When the user clicks the button, a popup appears and that's when I get this error ($ root loses the ViewModel area and becomes the window object).
