      Hey mates,

      I just wanted to share my experience on this, it took me ages to fix it and drove me nuts.

      Make sure you don't call updateDom in a function you're calling in the modules start method.

      Otherwise the core tries to update a module which is not even rendered and you will get a Black Screen.

      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

        If you wan’t to perform a updateDom a.s.a.p, you could use the DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED notification:

        notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
            if (notification === 'DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED') {
                this.updateDom();
            }
        }
        

        BUT … keep in mind, the updateDom() method will be called during the dom creation. So it doesn’t make any sense to do so …
