MARKLESS_ELEMENT_HANDLE_REQUIRED

The el prop gets something other than an element() handle.

Error from the compiler, while it builds your .tsrx files.

What happened

The el prop only accepts a handle made with element().

Markless prints the message, the reason, and a suggestion:

MARKLESS_ELEMENT_HANDLE_REQUIRED: Cannot bind el={<handleName>} because "<handleName>" is <actual>, not an element() handle.
DOM elements are host resources. el can only bind element() handles so resume can recover the current DOM locator without serializing a DOM node.
Create a handle with element<T>() and bind that handle with el={handle}. Keep DOM-backed resources in attach={...}.

Words in angle brackets change from case to case.

How to fix it

Create a handle with element(), then pass it to el.

const field = element<HTMLInputElement>();

<input el={field} />

Where it comes from
