[Bug]: NC25 - TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'appendChild') #34828

Description

@kwisatz

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

  • This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
  • This issue is not already reported on Github (I've searched it).
  • Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
  • Nextcloud Server is running on 64bit capable CPU, PHP and OS.
  • I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

When nextcloud server restarts (e.g. after an upgrade or a server reboot) and a valid user session is still present on the browser, then when attempting to update apps, the following error occurs as one clicks on the "Update" button:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'appendChild')
    at o.mounted (main.js:6120:594)
    at Ut (main.js:7:1678)
    at Nn (main.js:7:13691)
    at Object.insert (main.js:7:17904)
    at E (main.js:15:18973)
    at o.__patch__ (main.js:15:21229)
    at e._update (main.js:7:10395)
    at o.a (main.js:7:11799)
    at e.get (main.js:7:6677)
    at new e (main.js:7:6594)

This then prevents the "Confirm" button from becoming active.

If I log out, then back in, then this TypeError does not occur and I can upgrade or install apps.

  2. Restart the nextcloud server
