TypeError for empty flex attribute on md-button

[julienpa]

I get this error since updating to rc6 this morning:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'warn' of undefined at validateAttributeUsage
(angular-material.js:3374:15)
[...]
at angular-material.js:1567:20 <md-button flex="" ng-click="switchAction()"
aria-label="Change server" class="md-primary">

I guess it is because the flex attribute is empty? Is it now required to have a value?

[julienpa]

Actually it happens even with a value for the flex attribute.
Here is my code:

md-dialog.about-dialog(aria-label="Dialog with app info")
  md-toolbar
    .md-toolbar-tools
      h2(flex) {{ appData.name }}
      md-button.md-icon-button(ng-click="closeDialog()", aria-label="Close dialog")
        md-icon close
  md-dialog-content.md-padding
    .md-body-2 Version: {{ appData.version }}
    .md-body-2 Release date: {{ appData.releaseDat }}
    // (more info) ...  
    .change-server(layout)
      md-button.md-primary(flex="grow", ng-click="switchAction()", aria-label="Change server").
        Change server

The error is declared for the last button, in the .change-server(layout) wrapper

If found that the error is here:

@ThomasBurleson what could cause $log to be undefined? I use this service in my Angular app, but the injections are separated between my app and Angular Material module, right?

Just ran into this as well. Just upgraded to RC6. Same place as @julienpa. Thanks!

Fixes are pending with #6082

[ThomasBurleson]

@julienpa - the $log was not being properly injected into validateAttributeUsage( ). Yet I am still confused as to why you are getting that error when it only triggers for <md-button flex> or <fieldset flex> and those directives never use attributeWithoutValue( ).

[julienpa]

@ThomasBurleson actually the issue is not linked with attributeWithoutValue( ), I was wrong about the "no value" thing. It's just because I am using a md-button with flex directive, which uses validateAttributeUsage( ) and this one had the injection problem.
Glad to know about the fixes!
