Problem:
Just started updating my Polymer PWA to Polymer version 2
and now getting the same error for each element in the console and nothing loads.
Uncaught TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null
Similar issues had something to do with circular dependencies but I am not really sure why this happens, what it exactly means and how to resolve it. Maybe someone can clear things up here!?
Idea:
I might be using some sort of mix of Polymer2 & it's hybrid mode as I am still using the dom-if and imported the bower_components/polymer/lib/elements/dom-if.html
However, I don't think this is causing the error as the console points to
class MyApp extends Polymer.Element
Example 1:
<!-- import CSS mixin shim -->
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/shadycss/apply-shim.html">
<!-- import custom-style -->
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/polymer/lib/elements/custom-style.html">
<!-- import template repeater -->
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/polymer/lib/elements/dom-if.html">
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/polymer/polymer-element.html">
<!-- Polymer Imports -->
<link rel="import" href="bower_components/polymer/polymer.html">
<!-- CustomElements -->
<link rel="import" href="src/customElements/custom-icons.html">
<link rel="import" href="my-landingpage.html">
<link rel="import" href="my-yole.html">
<dom-module id="my-app">

<style>

display: block;
}
</style>
<template is="dom-if" if="[[!user]]">
<my-landingpage></my-landingpage>

<template is="dom-if" if="[[user]]">

</template>
<script>
class MyApp extends Polymer.Element {

}
customElements.define(MyApp.is, MyApp);

Example 2 with the same Error:

</div>
<paper-dialog id="policyDialog" with-Backdrop>

</template>
<script>
class MyFooter extends Polymer.Element {

}
connectedCallback() {
super.connectedCallback();
this._updateGridStyles = this._updateGridStyles || function() {
this.updateStyles();
}.bind(this);
window.addEventListener('resize', this._updateGridStyles);
}
disconnectedCallback() {
super.disconnectedCallback();
window.removeEventListener('resize', this._updateGridStyles);
}
openPolicy() {
this.$.policyDialog.toggle();
}
}
customElements.define(MyFooter.is, MyFooter);
</script>
</dom-module>
So what I forgot to mention is that I am using Firebase to serve and deploy my app.
I just noticed that I have 2 bower-components folder.
Firebase requires the components inside the public folder to ship them when deploying the app.
When updating the bower-components I was just simply creating a new folder in the top level directory instead of changing the existing one in my public folder. Although this seems kind of obvious I will leave the question online in case someone should be having the same issue one day.
