openlayers -- Cannot read property ‘slice‘ of null---地图无法加载

加载GeoServer WMS服务时，地图无法加载，出现错误：

View.js:1552 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'slice' of null
at xs (View.js:1552)
at e.applyOptions_ (View.js:378)
at new e (View.js:330)
at test.html:115

我加载服务的代码是：

		var imagery = new ol.layer.Image({
	            source: new ol.source.ImageWMS({
	                ratio: 1,
	                url: 'http://localhost:8999/geoserver/dem/wms',
	                params: {
	                    'FORMAT': 'image/jpeg',//'image/jpeg',//
	                    'VERSION': '1.1.1',
	                    "STYLES": '',
	                    "LAYERS": 'dem:hhu_fill_dem',
	                    "exceptions": 'application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage',
	                },
	                crossOrigin:''
	            })
	    });
		var projection = new ol.proj.Projection({
		            code: 'EPSG:3857',
		            units: 'm',
		            global: true
		    });

       	var map = new ol.Map({
            controls: ol.control.defaults({
                attribution: false
            }).extend([mousePositionControl]),
            target: container,
            layers: [
                imagery
            ],
            view: new ol.View({
                projection: projection,
            }),
            
        });

错误的地方是加载视图这一块view: new ol.View({ projection: projection}),，一步步排除后发现问题在：

var projection = new ol.proj.Projection({
		            code: 'EPSG:3857',
		            units: 'm',
		            global: true
		    });

其中的global: true有问题，global的默认属性为false，将其注释掉，发现不报错，地图也能正常加载出来了。
关于global的官方解释为：

Whether the projection is valid for the whole globe.

然而，在geoserver加载该服务的源代码中，是将global设为true的，并且成功加载，不清楚这是为什么？？
