pbfParser in node.js and "TypeError: Invalid non-string/buffer chunk"

[rhz]

Has anyone been able to use osm-read-pbf from node.js? By using the same code I was running successfully in the browser I get a "TypeError: Invalid non-string/buffer chunk" before any nodes, ways or relations are read (ie probably right after it starts reading the pbf file). If needed I can upload the pbf file I'm using but I'm guessing the problem is already there with example/test.pbf.

Are you using the current master branch? There are some issues in it. Have you tried v0.6.0 ( https://github.com/marook/osm-read/releases/tag/v0.6.0 )?

If v0.6.0 does not work for you it would be interesting which node.js version you are using?

[rhz]

I'm using v0.6.0. I installed it using npm. I'm using nodejs v8.15.0.

I updated nodejs to v11.6.0 and it's working now :)

[marook]

cool :)

I now get a different error

fs.js:143
    throw new ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK();
    ^

Any ideas?

[rhz]

By running the project using ndb I see a call to parser.close() without giving any callback to the function (line 66 of pbfParser.js). Could this be the source of the issue?

[rhz]

Should I open a new issue with this error or is it ok to continue here?

[rhz]

The problem was indeed in that line. I replaced parser.close() by parser.close(() => {}) and it's working now. Also, I cloned the repo and I'm importing the library directly from lib/pbfParser.js instead of using the version produced by browserify, not sure if that makes a difference. I'll leave the issue open in the hope that it gets fixed in a v0.6.1 branch and published to npm :)

Any news on this?
