✅ Blazor's @onclick isn't firing

I have a simple blazor server page with a couple of buttons. All the buttons have the same callback, where I put a Console.WriteLine to check if it does anything, but upon clicking them nothing happens. Anyone able to explain to me what's wrong? The console doesn't show any errors either. I'm using net8

@page "/"
@inject IJSRuntime JSRuntime

<PageTitle>Home</PageTitle>

<div class="grid-container">
    @foreach (var x in secrets)
    {
        <button class="grid-item" @onclick="() => CopySecret(x)" @onclick:preventDefault>
            <h3>asdf</h3>
            <p>@x</p>
        </button>
    }
    
    <button class="add-grid-item">
        <h4>Add new</h4>
    </button>
</div>

@code
{
    private string[] secrets = ["xD", "kimne", "gp7xd", "lol", "kimne", "gp7xd", "lol", "kimne", "gp7xd", "lol"];


    private async Task CopySecret(string secret)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("test"); // This is never executed, even if the line below is commented out
        await JSRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync("clipboardCopy.copyText", secret);
    }
}

I don't believe you need the preventDefault

occluderOP•13mo ago

tried without it, didn't work either

try changing up your formatting: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/components/event-handling?view=aspnetcore-8.0#lambda-expressions

i dont use blazor but it doesn't seem like you are using the lambda correctly here

occluderOP•13mo ago

I tried removing the method param and not using a lambda, but that didn't work either

Anchy•13mo ago

do you use the other formatting

occluderOP•13mo ago

not sure what this curse is, I have the same problem with other new blazor projects. Even if the code is identical to the counter example I use the <button @onclick="OnClickCallback">

Anchy•13mo ago

<button class="grid-item" @onclick="() => CopySecret(x)"> to <button class="grid-item" @onclick="@(() => CopySecret(x))">

occluderOP•13mo ago

doesn't work no web console error too

Anchy•13mo ago

try calling it asynchronously since it is an async task <button class="grid-item" onclick="@(async () => await CopySecret(x))">

occluderOP•13mo ago

I'll try when I get back home, although that doesn't sound like it'll do anything

Anchy•13mo ago

otherwise like I said I don't use blazor so I'm unsure, but you could try some of these answers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58196812/blazor-onclick-event-is-not-triggered

Yeah I'm just clutching at straws because it should work even without async-await

You sure you set up your interactivity? Blazor .net 8 requires it Try putting @rendermode InteractiveServer on top
