message.sendSms - TypeError: Cannot read property 'status' of undefined

[GoEagles999]

I am trying to send an SMS message like this:

const from = 'num'
const to = 'num'
const text = 'A text message sent using the Nexmo SMS API'
nexmo.message.sendSms(from, to, text, (error, response) => {
  if(error) {
    throw error;
  } else if(response.messages[0].status != '0') {
    console.error(response);
    throw 'Nexmo returned back a non-zero status';
  } else {
    console.log(response);
  }
});
{ 'message-count': '1',
  messages:
   [ { to: 'num',
       'message-id': '0C000000B7BAC3CE',
       status: '0',
       'remaining-balance': '11.90490000',
       'message-price': '0.03330000',
       network: '23420' } ] }
/srv/node_modules/nexmo/lib/index.js:142
      if (!err && apiResponse.status && apiResponse.messages[0].status > 0) {
                              ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'status' of undefined

As you can see the message successfully sends (verified on my phone) however this error is thrown from the library immediately after. Why is this happening?

Hello,
I got the same issue. It occurs only with node >= 1.2.0.
Thus I supposed, it's related to nodejs/node#20075

I would suggest the following PR in HttpClient.js but I'm not sure

       response.on("close", e => {
+        if (!e) {
+          return;
+        }
         this.logger.error(
           "problem with API request detailed stacktrace below "
         );

I simple workaround is to downgrade Node version to 10.1.0 or below.
I hope this will help you
