ngAnimate error in 1.3.x

[wesleycho]

I am running into a weird error in UI Bootstrap, where it appears ngAnimate is the culprit (removing the dependency does not trigger the error in console).

Here is the Plunker - it should be noted that where it is throwing the error in console, on the first execution of this block, elementNode and parentNode exist fine. On second and third execution, elementNode ends up being undefined, which results in the error being thrown.

This error does not seem to create any functional problem.

This component does not use ngAnimate functionality at all, which makes me suspect there is something wrong with ngAnimate itself here.

Note that this is only a problem in 1.3.x (i.e. 1.3.17) - this does not manifest in 1.4.x.

@wesleycho the issue seems to be resolved with 1.3.18 update. We confirmed that this fixed the issue on our projects as well.

This indeed seems fixed now, as seen here.

Thanks @matsko!
