Can't get this to work!

I am getting the following error:

Related to this? https://github.com/jahewson/node-byline/issues/17

I even tried restricting byline to v 4.1.1 On node v.0.10.31 (the latest version threw errors) and same error on node v.0.10.3 (see the issue linked above).

Any ideas?

EDIT Hacked around for a temporary solution:

var re = /\0/g;
var data = JSON.parse(data.toString().substr(2).replace(re, ""));

Hm. Does this occur when sending or receiving messages?

[irfaan]

receiving.

The hack actually reads like this now to accommodate email as handle:

data = data.toString();

if(data.substr(0,1) == "{"){
    data = JSON.parse(data);
}else{
    var re = /\0/g;
    var data = JSON.parse(data.substr(2).replace(re, ""));
}

You're welcome to PR that fix if it's stable

[irfaan]

Alright. I'll do that. It appears so.

Also, two other issues I'm having:

1. It ignores the first message sent from a handle that it hasn't received a message from before. No error thrown.
2. Messages.send() throws the following if I'm sending to a handle that it has never sent/received a message to/from before:

{ [Error: Command failed: 0:708: execution error: Error on line 1: Error: Can't get object. (-1728)
] killed: false, code: 1, signal: null }

[wtfaremyinitials]

Odd. I'll do some investigating in a bit.

Well this is a shame. I can't get Xcode working right now, and compiling mkfifo requires xcode. I won't be able to finish all this for another couple days.

Closing because at this point the receiving messages API is removed as far as I know.
