Issue with inferencer generated code
I'm getting this error "Error: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports. Check the render method of
Field2." for a page generated by inferencer
However, when the auto-generated code is manually copied for debugging, the issue went away and everything works just fine
Is there any known issue related to inferencer?2 Replies
Hi @Phuong. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, there are several known issues with the inferencer-generated code in refine. The error you're experiencing is likely related to one of these issues.
Based on the knowledge sources, here are some common problems with inferencer:
1. Reference errors: There have been instances where inferencer generates code with undefined variables. For example, in one issue, the code referenced
categoryIsLoading which wasn't defined, causing similar errors to what you're experiencing (GitHub Issue #4679).
2. Component naming issues: When using non-English characters in resource labels, the inferencer can generate invalid component names (GitHub Issue #3435).
3. Import issues: In some cases, inferencer imports components from incorrect packages, such as importing Controller from @refinedev/react-hook-form instead of react-hook-form (GitHub Issue #3864).
The fact that manually copying the code resolves the issue aligns with what refine team members have mentioned - inferencer components are primarily meant for generating starter code rather than for production use. As one team member stated:
"Just wanted to leave this as a reminder; We don't recommend using Inferencer's in production, the preview is provided just for showing the what the generated code will look like, It's best to copy the code and update the code as you like in your component." (GitHub Issue #3587)The recommended approach is exactly what you've done - copy the generated code into your own component files and make any necessary adjustments. This is the intended workflow for inferencer, as it's designed to give you a starting point rather than a production-ready component. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
