+1, causing me to need to start using npm shrinkwrap to get buffer 3.4.3 |
+1 |
Assuming this bug can be confirmed, what is the best course of action anyway? |
Depends on the cause. We can either try to fix it, or revert the |
The code i had that was causing this to show up was while using webpack and was unfortunately several libraries deep where it was triggered so i don't have a simple test case I know the file that directly had threw the error while using a buffer was https://github.com/primus/primus/blob/master/transformer.js likely not very helpful but you might be able to see a use case that would break it which is more obvious to you having written the buffer library |
@marioatlp Can you provide a stacktrace so we know where transformer was calling Buffer? |
haha it seems I could reproduce the issue. It's not buffer but Showcase: (check the console)
Code: https://github.com/purposeindustries/buffer-bug79 ps: you can solve the global transform by simply ignoring buffer: |
Looks like we're getting the same issue. |
@jlbruno in webpack: add
|
@oroce That solution is only helpful if the issue is a .jsx file in node_modules my issue was in standard JS. an alternative work around until this is fixed is to add to
|
Ok, thanks....looks like 3 solutions have worked. Shrinkwrap (locking buffer to 3.4.3 by editing node-libs-browser package.json), excluding node_modules, and adding buffer at a top level dependency locked to v 3.4.3. Thanks all. Time to figure out which is the least of the evils. |
found one other solution for webpack based on
|
@lostrouter I would recommend not running babel on third party code, as often the transforms can break code that is unaware of es6. Such as making modules option strict by default. |
I cross-referenced this issue against browserify, too. They should at least be aware of this issue. Since I use traceur instead of babel, my solution was |
3.4.3 still has the broken code:
|
Same here using webpack with https://github.com/mistadikay/strict-loader
|
Ok I ran the test suit inside the same browser I have the bug in, and it is all good. Maybe someone (webpack?) is doing a freeze on the object, or something else. |
Find it, don't add / use strict mode on Buffer.js mistadikay/strict-loader#5 (comment) |
I did a horrible patch in webpack for this issue that others might be able to use: ---- strict-stripper.js ------ ---- in webpack.config.js (loaders section) ------ |
So I take it the steps to fix this bug are:
In general, it looks like this could be fixed by simply hoisting the |
I can confirm that I can reproduce this by just adding |
^ fixed! |
nicely done, thank you! |
Nicely done! Fix released as 3.6.0. And just like that, we're down to 0 open issues and 0 open PRs! 👍 |
Buffer 3.5.0 breaks in Chrome (
45.0.2454.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)
)What I'm getting is
It happens when buffer tries to set
.prototype.length

, here: https://github.com/feross/buffer/blob/master/index.js#L372I discovered this while I was rolling out our app's new version. Later I'm gonna try to put together a small demo.
(I'm using browserify 11.11.0 which uses
buffer@3.5.0
