[node-ffi] TypeError: error setting argument 0 - valabind [StructType]#set got a bad value

[3demax]

I've generated binding for tox, but

/home/user/node-tox-ffi/node_modules/ffi/lib/_foreign_function.js:55
      throw e
            ^

I'm trying to understand this types system, and it's very complicated. Can you please explain, what's wrong here?

[msmaromi]

I have the same issue. May someone explain this?

[radare]

Can you provide a simpler test case and (vapi+makefile) to reproduce the issue? I guess that's related to a wrongly defined vapi file. did you tested it with Vala?

[msmaromi]

I've recheck my case and it turns out a different problem. Thankyou anyway

same error

os: linux-x64 vala: 0.50 valabind: 1.7.2 nodejs: v10.22.1 github.com/antono/vala-object node example (updated node ffi ...)

[futurepaycc]

figured out:

nodeffiwriter.vala: 395,397

val.buffer -> val['ref.buffer']

Awesome! Can you send a PR? Just pressing the pencil button in github allows you to edit the file and create the pr automatically.

I will setup the CI for further testimg too

Thanks!!
