Error "a.__shady is undefined" - Prod build NOT working on Firefox, IE and Edge about polymer-chat

[firstor]

Found that this is a webcomponentsjs bug. This bug came after Polymer was upgraded from v2.0.1 to v2.0.2 since Polymer v2.0.2 requires webcomponentsjs v1.0.3.

So before they fix this bug and release a patch or fix for it, degrading webcomponentsjs might be a unique workaround right now:

This workaround works fine on FF and Edge but not IE. Got new problem found on IE.

• Changes in bower.json:

  {
    ...
    "dependencies": {
      "polymer": "Polymer/polymer#2.0.2",
      "paper-input": "PolymerElements/paper-input#2.0.1",
      "paper-button": "PolymerElements/paper-button#2.0.0",
      "paper-dialog": "PolymerElements/paper-dialog#2.0.0",
      ...
      "webcomponentsjs": "webcomponents/webcomponentsjs#1.0.1"  /* <= my attempt to downgrade */
    },
    "resolutions": {
      "webcomponentsjs": "1.0.1" /* <= my attempt to downgrade */
    }
  }
  

• New problem found on IE 11 (the browser console outputs)

The new problem is related with this issue: webcomponents/webcomponentsjs#518

[firstor]

The new error A custom element with name 'dom-module' has already been defined. is related with zone.js. The error happened when used zone.js v0.8.14 or v0.8.16. It's been completely fixed with zone.js v0.8.12 and webcomponentsjs v1.0.1.

Fixed with PR #27
