FabricJS drawing image disappears

Question

I'm new with the FabricJS library and I used it for the following, I have a draggable object on the left side of my screen, which is only drag-able in an y direction. A function reads out the y position of this object and then it depends the height of my triangle which needs to be drawn.

But after 2-3 seconds of drawing the triangle dissapears and doesn't show again....

This is my code.

function drawObject() {
    if (being_dragged == true && y <= 440) {
        document.getElementById(element).style.top = y + 'px';
        y_height_1 = y;
        if (y_height_1 > y_height_2) {
            y_final--;
            y_height_2 = y_height_1;
        } else {
            y_final++;
        }

        drawRoof();
    }
}

function drawRoof() {
    var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');

    var roof = new fabric.Triangle({
        width: 200,
        height: y_final / 2,
        fill: 'blue',
        left: 150,
        top: 200
    });

    canvas.add(roof);
}

Please take a look on this working fiddle.

http://jsfiddle.net/Ahammadalipk/w8kkc/185/

window.onload = function () {

        var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');

        /* 
        NOTE: the start and end handlers are events for the <img> elements; the rest are bound to 
        the canvas container.
        */

        function handleDragStart(e) {
            [].forEach.call(images, function (img) {
                img.classList.remove('img_dragging');
            });
            this.classList.add('img_dragging');
        }

        function handleDragOver(e) {
            if (e.preventDefault) {

            e.dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'copy';

            var img = document.querySelector('#images img.img_dragging');

            var newImage = new fabric.Image(img, {

        }

        function handleDragEnd(e) {

            });
        }

        if (Modernizr.draganddrop) {



            var images = document.querySelectorAll('#images img');

                img.addEventListener('dragstart', handleDragStart, false);
                img.addEventListener('dragend', handleDragEnd, false);
            });

            var canvasContainer = document.getElementById("canvas-container");

        } else {

            alert("This browser doesn't support the HTML5 Drag and Drop API.");
        }
    }

Are you making a new object when you are dragging? I cant see its a part of the code.

Do you mean something like this?? >> Fiddle

var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');
var roof = new fabric.Triangle({ width: 200,  height: 200, fill: 'blue', left: 250,  top: 200    });
var handler = new fabric.Circle({ radius: 15, fill: '#ccc', top: 300, left: 40 }); 
handler.hasControls = handler.hasBorders = false;

handler.lockMovementX = true;
canvas.add(roof, handler);

canvas.on({'object:moving' : resizeTriangle});

function resizeTriangle(e) {
    roof.height = e.target.getTop();
}
