Error when using module

[nickvanw]

Attempting to load the module running 0.10.5 results in this:

Uncaught Exception: [TypeError: Object function (e) {
    var t, _ref;

    if ((t = this.indexOf(e)) > -1) {
      return ([].splice.apply(this, [t, t - t + 1].concat(_ref = [])), _ref);
    }
  } has no method 'copy']

running the latest version from npm

When installing, this is given:

npm WARN engine youtube-feeds@2.2.1: wanted: {"node":"<=0.8.3 >=0.10.0"} (current: {"node":"v0.10.5","npm":"1.2.18"})

Which seems odd as I am >=0.10.0?

Hi, thanks for your report.

The installation warning is something weird in npm. The version syntax matches the documentation but still it doesn't seem to like v0.10.x.

For the other error I need more details.

• Did you install the module from npm or the Github source? And how did you do that?
• Can you post example code of how you load and use the module?
• On which OS are you trying to use it?

I installed by doing: npm install youtube-feeds

The bug appears due to a small (coffeescript) function I have in my code to allow removal of array objects:

Array::remove = (e) -> @[t..t] = [] if (t = @indexOf(e)) > -1

This appears to conflict with

youtube-feeds.js:220
                data[d].copy( buf, pos )

Removing it fixes the issue, however renaming it does not.

[fvdm]

data[d] are Buffer instances as received from the http module. I can't help you with Coffeescript, but perhaps it converts data array elements to strings (or some other type) which then loose their copy method.

[nickvanw]

The Coffee function evaluates directly to this javascript:

(function() {
  Array.prototype.remove = function(e) {
    var t, _ref;

    if ((t = this.indexOf(e)) > -1) {
      return ([].splice.apply(this, [t, t - t + 1].concat(_ref = [])), _ref);
    }
  };

}).call(this);

[fvdm]

This line in the Buffer docs is probably the reason:

While more efficient, it introduces subtle incompatibilities with the typed arrays specification. ArrayBuffer#slice() makes a copy of the slice while Buffer#slice() creates a view.

Long story short, I won't add support for CoffeeScript. But feel free to fork this repo and adjust to your own needs :)
