TypeError: Cannot read from private field

Vue version

3.2.47

Link to minimal reproduction

https://github.com/skywarth/country-routing-algorithm-demo-vue

Steps to reproduce

You may easily reproduce from my demo project

npm install npm run dev

Then check the console.

The problem is basically assigning class instance to a data attribute (reactive), whereas the class has private attributes. After that try to call a method on the class instance which accesses the private attribute.



export default {
  data(){
    return {
      someInstance:null,
    }
  },

  methods:{
    trigger(){
      return this.someInstance.foo();
    },

  },
  mounted(){
    this.someInstance= new ClassWithPrivates();

  }
}

And the class in question is:

class ClassWithPrivates{
 #hidden=['test'];
foo(){
return this.#hidden;
}
}

What is expected?

I expect the class instance assigned data attribute to be reactive, and allow me to access the class instance across the component with impunity.

What is actually happening?

I get TypeError: Cannot read from private field with the following stack trace:

unk-5HVLWUKC.js?v=20d5ffab:33 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read from private field
    at __accessCheck (chunk-5HVLWUKC.js?v=20d5ffab:33:11)

Indicated get graphInstance() accessor is:

get graphInstance() {
        return this.#graphInstance;
    }

Any additional comments?

I ran into this bug while preparing a demo project using vue, for my library that is still under development: https://github.com/skywarth/country-routing-algorithm

I just started using Vue, it is completely possible I'm making a newbie mistake here. Thank you for your understanding.
