Error bebop.js : Cannot read property 'readUInt8' of undefined

[kolki]

i have encountered this error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'readUInt8' of undefined at Bebop._packetReceiver (/home/kit/node_modules/node-bebop/lib/bebop.js:301:43) at emitTwo (events.js:87:13) at Socket.emit (events.js:172:7) at UDP.onMessage (dgram.js:480:8)

as i test any command.

in fact i modify bebop.js like this

line 307 FROM

 if ( networkFrame.id === constants.BD_NET_DC_EVENT_ID || networkFrame.id === constants.BD_NET_DC_NAVDATA_ID){

TO

 if ( (networkFrame.id === constants.BD_NET_DC_EVENT_ID ||
  networkFrame.id === constants.BD_NET_DC_NAVDATA_ID) && networkFrame.data !==  undefined) 

it seems sometime data field have lengfh but is empty.

{ type: 4,
  id: 126,
  seq: 53,
  size: 15,
  data: <Buffer 01 04 0f 00 03 00 00 00> }
{ type: 4, id: 126, seq: 54, size: 7 }
/home/kit/node_modules/node-bebop/lib/bebop.js:307
    var commandProject = networkFrame.data.readUInt8(0),
                                          ^

Making this edit to /lib/bebop.js allows things to work without this readUInt8 but i dont know what issues it might cause down the line:

`if (networkFrame.id === constants.BD_NET_DC_EVENT_ID || networkFrame.id === constants.BD_NET_DC_NAVDATA_ID) {

//var //commandProject = networkFrame.data.readUInt8(0),
    //commandClass = networkFrame.data.readUInt8(1),
    //commandId = networkFrame.data.readUInt16LE(2);

var offset = 4;
var args = {};
var event = null;

try {
  event = commands
    .first({id: commandProject}).class
    .first({id: commandClass}).cmd;
}
catch (err) {
  this.emit("unknown", networkFrame.data);
}

if (event) {

  if (event instanceof Array) {
    event = event[commandId];
    if (!event) {
      this.emit("unknown", networkFrame.data);
      return;
    }
  }

  if (typeof event.arg !== "undefined") {
    if (event.arg instanceof Array) {
      event.arg.forEach(function(arg) {
        if (types.hasOwnProperty(arg.type)) {
          args[arg.name] = types[arg.type]
            .read(networkFrame.data, offset, arg);

          offset += types[arg.type].length;
        }
      });
    }
    else if (event.arg instanceof Object) {

          .read(networkFrame.data, offset, event.arg);
      }

  this.emit(event.name, args);
