switchState doesn't trigger when indeterminate is set

[cristalembalagens]

If the initial state is not checked and data-indeterminate is true, when the button is hit on the off side it becomes on and triggers the switchState event, but if you hit on the on side, it becomes off and doesn't trigger the switchState event because it was already off but, it was set to be in indeterminate state so the event must consider that the state is not checked or unchecked.

Here's a fiddle to explain this case http:https://jsfiddle.net/2m4b4bb2/

+1, exact same problem found and came here to report it. Thanks for the fiddle. Might see if I can fix it and pull request.

@cristalembalagens Set the state option to null when using indeterminate.

Then the event will trigger.

For more info see here: https://github.com/nostalgiaz/bootstrap-switch/blob/master/dist/js/bootstrap-switch.js#L499

The plugin catches the event and only retriggers it if it has changed.

@rfox90 great solution. The only different thing I had to do is to initiate those checkboxes without indeterminate with the normal initiation and those with indeterminate with {state:null}. Using data-state=null didn't work.

There's still a problem, once you set a value, if you need to turn it to indeterminate again, you can't set state to null again.

👍

@rfox90's solution worked for now.

I ran into this as well.

@cristalembalagens: You can set the state after the initialization -- in particular, whenever you set the switch to indeterminate -- using something along the following lines:

element.data('bootstrap-switch').options.state = null; // or anything else other than true and false

As another side note, the line that is responsible for this bug should be linked more permanently like this: https://github.com/nostalgiaz/bootstrap-switch/blob/a39a1e/dist/js/bootstrap-switch.js#L530
