time-service.js and client.js not working

[nanetnanet]

Downloaded cote-master.zip Unzip to folder. npm install. create sample time-service.js create client.js

node time-service.js (running) node client.js (running but no response, I understood to give time for time-service.js ready. I also modify client for requesting every 1000ms and console log confirmed requests every 1000ms)

So I run >npm test found errors (I'm using node v.12.19.0)

I was trying this out yesterday and noticed that the callback should take two arguments, an err and a res value. So it works when doing the following. time-service.js

const cote = require('cote');
const timeService = new cote.Responder({ name: 'Time Service' });

timeService.on('time', (req, cb) => {
    cb(undefined, new Date());
});

client.js

const cote = require('cote');
const client = new cote.Requester({ name: 'Client' });

client.send({ type: 'time' }, (err, time) => {
    console.log(time);
});

Hello, I tried running your code examples and what we have pointed out in the README — I believe this works well for me, I haven't run into an issue like you mentioned.

If the problem still persists for you, I would be grateful if you could create a repository to replicate the issue.

Hey, I'm not the original poster but I've tried since replicating this issue again and I'm not able to replicate it anymore and get the expected outcome.

I think my issue stemmed more from the type definitions expecting an error and a result in the callback, and not allowing only for a result, so is more an issue with that package, so in turns I assumed that should be the default behaviour.

Thank you 🙏 cote doesn’t have official type information yet—so there might be inconsistencies.
