Broken Filter on Search Object

[Pepper Lebeck-Jobe]

When you are using a filter on a template object and one of the properties of the template object is bound to a select box which has a "None" option which sets the value back to the empty string.  The filter matches Nothing instead of Everything.  To demonstrate:

http://jsfiddle.net/eljobe/H5yuW/

If you select "red" from the "Broken Filter Select" dropdown, it filters correctly, but when you switch back to "None" it shows no results.

However when you select "red" from the "Working Filter Select" dropdown, it filters correctly, and when you switch back to "None" it shows all results.

Why is that?  Is it a bug?

Thanks,

Pepper

I would consider this a bug... I've slightly modified the jsFiddle to
see what is going on:
http://jsfiddle.net/pkozlowski_opensource/H5yuW/10/

As you can see from the console output the difference is that:
1) at the begining the search.name is initailized to an empty string
2) selecting None binds null to the search.name

A work-around I could think of would consist of watching search.name,
like this: http://jsfiddle.net/pkozlowski_opensource/H5yuW/11/
There are probably other approaches (like having colors holding not
only labels but objects with lable=>value), but once again I find this
behaviour puzzling so this should either be considered as a bug or
what do we miss here is an ability to specify the model value for
<option>.

Cheers,
Pawel

Pawel,

Thanks for the excellent explanation and work-around. Should I file an official bug somewhere about the broken behavior?

Thanks,

Pepper

Pepper, 

Go to the github issues https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93 and file there. I took a quick look and don't think I saw anything like this

Hi,

I'm struggling with the same problem.

Good thing there is such a good mailing list!

@Pawel: thank you for the workaround.

@Pepper: did you open an issue at github?
