Buffer is not defined

I just started to see

/node_modules/redis/index.js:602
                throw err;
                      ^

How are you triggering this error?

If I run the database basic examples, it doesn't come up?

I also just freed up about 68 gigs of HD space on production. We may have been low on disk.

@marak, it seems to work now. Yeay!

[reimertz]

@marak Actually, it's weird. It works when creating a new hook. But once it's saved and called, you get these errors. I have been trying 4-5 times now.

You can see it here the bug in production here -> https://hook.io/reimertz/13374real/source

@reimertz -

Okay, now I understand.

If you look, Buffer global object is not being passed into Node.js VM.

I have hot-patched the server to now include Buffer. Can you try running your example again?

[reimertz]

it works <3

Great. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll commit the fix soon and close this issue when it's pushed.
