blueprintjs Select Component onItemSelect Function Doesn't Run

Question

I'm just trying to output text to the console when I click on a MenuItem in the dropdown menu. Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? There isn't much help on this topic besides the example component in the docs.

 itemRenderer(item) {
    return (
      <MenuItem
        key={item.id}
        label={item.year}
        text={item.season}
        shouldDismissPopover={true}
      />
    )
  }

  handleclick(item) {
    //this never runs :(
    console.log('clicked')
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Select
        items={this.state.semesters}
        filterable={false}
        itemRenderer={this.itemRenderer}
        onItemSelect={this.handleclick}
      >
        <Button text={'Select a Semester'} rightIcon="caret-down" />
      </Select>
    )
  }

You should add a click handler on each MenuItem:

  itemRenderer(item, {handleClick}) {     // added {handleClick} argument
    return (
      <MenuItem
        key={item.id}
        label={item.year}
        text={item.season}
        onClick={handleClick}             // added this line
        shouldDismissPopover={true}
      />
    )
  }

Saved me half a day I guess, there's no error or warning. I'm going to propose adding an FAQs section on their repo. – Drip
