Cannot convert object to primitive value at Array.toString (native) when populating ember-power-select with array of objects generated dynamically

Question

I need to populate a power-select with objects from the store, but I can only get the options displayed with the hard coded array myOptions . I tried to generate myOption2 dynamically, and apparently got the same output as myOptions , but it throws an error:

ember.debug.js:19845 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value

function addListener(obj, eventName, target, method, once) {
_emberMetalDebug.assert('You must pass at least an object and event name to Ember.addListener', !!obj && !!eventName);
_emberMetalDebug.deprecate('didInitAttrs called in ' + (obj && obj.toString && obj.toString()) + '.', eventName !== 'didInitAttrs', {
  id: 'ember-views.did-init-attrs',

});

//template.hbs

{{#power-select options=myOptions onchange=(action "foo") as |opt|}}
  {{opt.name}}
{{/power-select}}

//component.js

myOptions: [
  { name: 'First Option' },
  { name: 'Second Option' }
],

myOptions2: [],

didReceiveAttrs() {
  this.get('model.content').forEach((option) => {
    this.get('myOptions2').push(option._data);
  });
}


//#=> myOptions: [{name: 'First Option'},{"name":"Second Option"}]
//#=> myOptions2 [{name: 'First Option'},{"name":"Second Option"}]

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Instead of push you need to use pushObject , only then observer,computed property will fire and templates will be updated automatically.

this.get('myOptions2').pushObject(option._data)

Being said that, I am not sure this will fix your issue.
