JS iterable error when using SHACL model

[LaurensRietveld]

Depending on the structure of your SHACL shape and its list definitions, you may get obscure errors such as this:

Message:
   listNode.list is not a function or its return value is not iterable

This seems to be caused by the clownface list() implementation returning null instead of an iterable (see here

I would have expected no error, or a more informative error instead.

Let me know if you need an MWE, and I'll see whether I can add the M to my WE

It would be valuable to see an example.

tl;dr; the spec requires values of certain properties to be lists. If it's any of those cases, we'd likely. just trade the error message for something more informative

I was able to reproduce this with the following MWE:

prefix : <https://triply.cc/>
prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
prefix sh: <http://www.w3.org/ns/shacl#>

:x a :X.

:lst
  rdf:first rdf:type;
  rdf:rest rdf:nil.

:model {
  :lst
    rdf:first rdf:type;
    rdf:rest rdf:nil.

  :X
    sh:closed true;
    sh:ignoredProperties :lst;
    sh:targetNode :x.
}
