Suggestions on fixing - "Only a ReactOwner can have refs"

[SFPink]

Hello, I've just stumbled across this plugin and would really like to use it however I have this issue (I'm sure we have all seen this before): "Only a ReactOwner can have refs. You might be adding a ref to a component that was not created inside a component's render method, or you have multiple copies of React loaded". Apologises for creating another bug about this issue, there are a few others however I didn't want to reopen old issues.

I've checked the additional details here: https://facebook.github.io/react/warnings/refs-must-have-owner.html

I'm not using any refs, I'm simply using the select as basically as I can.
I don't have multiple instances of react, I've checked the other node modules folders and ran "npm ls react" which only returns one instance. ( I'm using npm and gulp if that makes a difference )
I've updated node and npm
I've deleted all node modules and reinstalled
I've followed this link: https://gist.github.com/jimfb/4faa6cbfb1ef476bd105

Is there anything else I can try before giving up?

Regards

Hi @SFPink,

Do you have a reproducible case? A gist, plunker(https://plnkr.co/edit/HTmtER9AMNcPoWhXV707?p=preview), or small repo. This will help us better understand how you ran into this.

All the best

I have the same issue.

Currently I cannot provide a working example as my project is rather large. I will try and work out an extracted test case.

I am also seeing this error. I'm developing a shared component in a Lerna repo, and when importing this component in another app in the Lerna repo, we see this error.

I tried adding 'react' and' react-dom' to Webpack's externals config, but then I get an error that 'react' is not found when running Webpack for the parent app.

@steezeburger the same problem I see when I use npm link in our external components library, which uses react-select
it works fine if I just drop react-select or don't use in current rendered component
