Crashing when attempting to send

[Filmtangent]

I'm getting a crash when I attempt to send the file. I've attempted to send via a manually defined SMTP and direct to MX and I get this error

Can anyone help?

Got the same error too with mail configured for SMTP, with the exact same stack trace (safe for the /root folder):

Youtransfer has been cloned from the master branch of this repository (https://github.com/remie/YouTransfer.git) installed node.js version is 8.11.4

I can provide additional informations if needed

Any luck with this? @Filmtangent @lencell

[Filmtangent]

Unfortunately not, I've had to put a hold on my project for a while but will likely be able to do some more work on it in November.

In the meantime, I managed to make it work by replacing line 83 in file lib/youtransfer.js: Replace: var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport(); with: var transporter = null; It worked for me. The nodemailer API has changed.

[LouBNielsen]

@scamhaji, thanks! I'll try it out!

[freeyland]

Hi, this did not resolve the issue for me

[gh-ix]

Just wanted to confirm that the workaround posted above by @scamhaji does work for me. Thanks! More interesting was to find and follow the API change. I had a quick look, but couldn't get the point... -harry
