Tracks menu display problems when using tabix + canvasFeatures for bed files

[mpoelchau]

Apollo version: 2.1.1-SNAPSHOT
Jbrowse version: 1.16.9

We are working on setting up bed tracks using tabix and canvasFeatures (see GMOD/jbrowse#1511 for background). The display works fine for Jbrowse 1.16.9. In Apollo, the 'Tracks' menu in the right hand Apollo panel does not load.

We get the following Javascript console error when logging on to Apollo, when turning on any tracks (via the Jbrowse-style track menu), and/or when selecting the 'Tracks' menu in the right hand Apollo panel. I don't get the errors when I remove the bed tracks from trackList.json.

Server log: No stacktrace is posted on the server logs.

Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks!

Can you paste in the trackList.json for the section you are trying to add?

Actually, @cmdcolin just solved the problem - I needed to add "type": "CanvasFeatures" to the trackList. All console errors disappeared, Tracks show up, styling is fine in this Jbrowse version (1.16.9). Thanks @cmdcolin!
