Description

When entering the minWidth value of a given column, if the value is a percent, the grid will not render.

STEPS TO DUPLICATE

  1. Create a grid with columns (be sure minWidth is a property in at least one of them)
  2. Set the minWidth property to a percent value (must be a string value, i.e. '10%' and not 10%)
  3. Assuming everything else was done correctly, the grid will still not render (to verify this was done right, change the percent value to a number; if the grid renders properly in this instance, you presumably did everything else right).

Below is a link to a plunkr I made to demonstrate this (I basically took the tutorial plunkr from lesson 204 from the tutorial and changed the minWidth to 10% for the first column in app.js)

Analyzing the results with firebug, the following message came back in the console.

Error: Cannot parse column minWidth '10%' for column named 'name'

Research direction
Start by searching the codebase for the error message 'Cannot parse column minWidth'. The parsing likely occurs in a function that validates column properties. Look for logic that handles numeric values and add support for string percent values. Check the column definition initialization code in the grid's source files. Since there is an assignee, it may be worth reviewing if there is any ongoing work or if the issue is still actionable.
