test/test.js throwing has no method 'utf8Write' error

[fictorial]

The latest client version is out of sync with the latest node version.

I'm swamped with Daddy Stuff and other things (PlayRelay.io, a startup) so this has unfortunately been ignored for a little bit.

[JakSprats]

can you please advise which versions of redis, redis-node-client, and node are known to work.

I am happy to download old versions and then this issue will at least be documented

A quick fix: http://cl.ly/2ayp not yet tested

[JakSprats]

ALMOST ...

all tests in examples/ worked and ALL in test/ ... except:

still got this error, (because it is in test/test.js)

$ node test/test.js
........................................
node.js:50
throw e;
^
TypeError: Object # has no method 'utf8Write'
at bufferFromString (/Users/sammy/Downloads/GIT/redis-node-client/test/test.js:139:28)

[dio]

Well, I haven't touch the test.js :-) -- the bufferInstance.utf8Write(...) should be bufferInstance.write(..,offset,encoding='utf8') please refer to the latest node.js :-)

I am a node.js newbie so I dont know much :)

I got rid of the utf8write problem.
then on line 165 of test.js, the error:
TypeError: Object # has no method 'utf8Slice'
at Buffer.toString (/Users/sammy/Downloads/GIT/redis-node-client/test/test.js:165:17)

so i changed it to slice(), which may be just wrong
http://gist.github.com/603485

the final error I got, stumped me
TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value
at parseInt (native)
at ReplyParser.feed (/Users/sammy/Downloads/GIT/redis-node-client/lib/redis-client.js:180:29)

At this point, it looks like the parsing state machine was not working properly.

Again I am a newbie to node.js, I have been programming forever, but node.js is kinda something different, so I am slow debugging stuff

[webquent]

I'm having this same problem :/

[JakSprats]

this node client for redis works w/ node 0.3
http://github.com/mranney/node_redis

[webquent]

mranney's lib seems to be working great - switching to that at least for now :)

I hope fictorial's daddy responsibilities gets easier soon so he can dive back to improve this lib :)

[fictorial]

me too
