Ajax error on node form edit page

I’m trying to ajaxify part of node form. I have a hook_form_alter that adds extra ajax property to a widget of select field. The problem I’m facing is the callback method / function, which is not fired when change is happening.

So this is my form_alter code which resides in accountancy_invoice/accountancy_invoice.module:

function accountancy_invoice_form_node_form_alter(array &$form, DrupalCoreFormFormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) {   if ($form_id == 'node_invoice_form') {      $form['accommodation'] = array(       '#type' => 'container',       '#prefix' => '<div id="user-full-name">Dave</div>',       '#attributes' => array(         'class' => 'user-full-name',       ),     );      $form['field_invoice_customer']['widget']['#ajax'] = array(       'callback' => 'Drupalaccountancy_invoiceFormAjaxifyForm::customerValues',       'progress' => array(         'type' => 'throbber',         'message' => NULL,       )     );    } } 

This is my AjaxifyForm class which resides in accountancy_invoice/src/Form/AjaxifyForm.php:

namespace Drupalaccountancy_invoiceForm;  use DrupalCoreFormFormBase; use DrupalCoreFormFormStateInterface; use DrupalCoreAjaxAjaxResponse; use DrupalCoreAjaxHtmlCommand; use DrupalCoreAjaxReplaceCommand; use DrupalCoreAjaxOpenModalDialogCommand;  class AjaxifyForm {   public static function customerValues(array &$form, DrupalCoreFormFormStateInterface $form_state) {     $response = new AjaxResponse();     $response->addCommand(new ReplaceCommand('#user-full-name', '<span class="unit">Bryan</span>'));     $title = "Example Dialog";     $content = "foo bar content";     $options = array();     $response->addCommand(new OpenModalDialogCommand($title, $content, $options));     return $response;   } } 

It doesn’t really matter at the moment what this ajax should do. For testing purposes I just want to change name from Dave to Bryan in #user-full-name and display sample dialog box.

In the console, each time ajax is triggered I got an error:

enter image description here

This is complete error message (it’s trimmed in the screenshot): ↵An AJAX HTTP error occurred.↵HTTP Result Code: 200↵Debugging information follows.↵Path: /node/add/invoice?ajax_form=1↵StatusText: OK↵ResponseText: TypeError: Argument 1 passed to DrupalCoreFormFormState::setError() must be of the type array, null given, called in /var/www/drupalvm/drupal/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Field/WidgetBase.php on line 441 in DrupalCoreFormFormState->setError() (line 1093 of /var/www/drupalvm/drupal/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Form/FormState.php).
