[Maps V2] Unknown entity type for delete:

Error message

[Maps V2] Unknown entity type for delete:

What it means

This console.warn fires in the Maps V2 info-display delete handler (handleDelete) when a clicked delete button's data-entity-type is neither "area" nor "point". Note the asymmetry with handleEdit: the edit switch accepts visit/place while the delete switch accepts area/point, so wiring the wrong action or copying the wrong button template trips this immediately. The click is silently dropped apart from the warning.

Solutions

1. Check the rendered delete button in DevTools and set data-entity-type to exactly "area" or "point" in the popup template that produced it.
2. If a new deletable entity type exists, add its case to the switch in handleDelete (app/javascript/controllers/maps/maplibre_controller.js:1799).
3. Audit popup templates for copy-pasted edit buttons (visit/place) wired to the delete action and fix the action/entity-type pairing.

Example fix

// before
// <button data-id="${p.id}" data-entity-type="visit" data-action="click->maps--maplibre#handleDelete">Delete</button>

// after
// <button data-id="${p.id}" data-entity-type="point" data-action="click->maps--maplibre#handleDelete">Delete</button>

const DELETABLE_TYPES = new Set(["area", "point"])
const ok = DELETABLE_TYPES.has(button.dataset.entityType)

const isDeletableEntityType = (t) => t === "area" || t === "point"

When it happens

Trigger: Clicking a Delete button whose template lacks data-entity-type, or carries "visit"/"place" (values valid only for the edit switch). Any new deletable entity type added to the info display without a matching case in this switch also triggers it.

Common situations: Reusing the edit button markup for delete (or vice versa) during popup template work; refactor renames of the entity-type vocabulary; conditionally rendered buttons that omit the attribute for certain layers.
