TypeError: Param 1 must by of type object

[evbogue]

I've hit error this a few times, so making an issue.

When I reach the installation step where I am installing sbot plugins, I get this error

[ev@arch patchbay]$ sbot plugins.install ssb-links ssb-query
error loading sodium bindings: Cannot find module 'chloridedown/build/Release/sodium'
falling back to javascript version.
TypeError: Param 1 must by of type object
Install a plugin to Scuttlebot.

install {nodeModule} [--from path]

Calls out to npm to install a package into `~/.ssb/node_modules`.

-   nodeModule (string): The name of the plugin to install. Uses npm's module package-name rules.
-   from (string): A location to install from (directory path, url, or any location that npm accepts for its install command).

Is there a manual way to install the plugins?

I should also note that ssb-links and ssb-query are already installed in my .ssb folder.

When I try to launch patchbay I get this error:

$ electro index.js

/usr/lib/node_modules/electro/index.js:54

Issue 2 appears to have been solved in https://github.com/dominictarr/patchbay/issues/2

Reinstalling Electro to see if that helps get Patchbay running.

[evbogue]

Ok, after reinstalling Electro Patchbay runs for me. However, I am not seeing any data inside Electron.

[dominictarr]

can you check the dev tools? ctrl-shift-i what node version are you on? also, my hunch is it's this: https://github.com/dominictarr/patchbay/issues/6

[evbogue]

Node 6.2.1

What am I looking for in dev tools? The console is empty.

[evbogue]

CHLORIDE_JS=1 electro index.js doesn't solve the problem for me.

[evbogue]

Is there a way to run Patchbay in a browser instead of Electron?

[dominictarr]

@evbogue hmm, hopefully some error message... not yet, but I'm working on that now. what patchbay git commit are you on?

[evbogue]

@dominictarr Git commit: Master. 1.1.0 27e92625a95571a37337ba2095d5d17499d43195

[dominictarr]

can you update to 006f1095e4874780ffafca24791259c6124c9bc3 ? run sbot@8.3.2 or I have also confirmed that patchwork@6c8670658ad9d20bb3e815052eafc1721bed4000 works.

[dominictarr]

can you post your npm ls?

[evbogue]

Not working with sbot@8.3.2. I also tried cloning sbot@8.3.2 down and building it in a non-global folder. Sbot works fine with micropub, but doesn't load into the patchbay frontend.

I tried to post in Patchbay, and got this error.

[evbogue]

It should be noted: plugins.install works for me now!

The issue I was having with sbot plugin.install was that plugin.install cannot handle two arguments, as suggested in the patchbay readme.

[dominictarr]

thanks... this is quite perplexing.

• obviously scuttlebutt is working
• obviously ssb-client is working (because patchwork & micropub work)

some reason it's not working in electron which is weird. I recently added a automatic reconnection, and just realized now that I had removed error logging when reconnect fails. can you try again, with CHLIRODE_JS=1 electro index.js as well as electro index.js?

it's gotta be something about running chloride in electro

[evbogue]

I did a pull and tried both CHLORIDE_JS=1 electro index.js and electro index.js

With the recent commits, now nothing is showing up at all for me inside electron.

I also tried to get patchbay working on my other computer, which has a more recent install of sbot + patchwork, and had the same results. Though it's the same system specs, Arch with the latest version of Node and npm.

[evbogue]

Got an error in the console this time:

/home/ev/builds/patchbay/sbot-api.js:24 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token .

[dominictarr]

sorry, I totally pushed a syntax error.

[dominictarr]

pull the latest, should work now.

[dominictarr]

:pray:

[evbogue]

@dominic Working with 'CHLORIDE_JS=1'

[dominictarr]

YUSS!!!
