this is not how you use eval?

aep@u8: grpcc --proto proto/0x.proto --insecure  --address 127.0.0.1:8080 --eval 'client.getIdentity({}, pr)'

the same works fine with interactive mode

grpcc --proto proto/0x.proto --insecure  --address 127.0.0.1:8080        

Connecting to zeroxproto.v1.Bearer on 127.0.0.1:8080. Available globals:

  client - the client connection to Bearer
    getIdentity (Empty, callback) returns IdentityReply

  printReply - function to easily print a unary call reply (alias: pr)
  streamReply - function to easily print stream call replies (alias: sr)
  createMetadata - convert JS objects into grpc metadata instances (alias: cm)
  printMetadata - function to easily print a unary call's metadata (alias: pm)

try this patch tulequ@e424f74
or just try my fork :)

[aep]

@mrlequoctuan your fork works nicely, but you have issues disabled. are you planning to release on npm?

[tulequ]

@aep Enabled

Currently, I have no plan to release on npm
But I think it should be use as an docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/lequoctuan/grpcc/
No need to install at all :)

[malcolmsgroves]

Using node 8 seems to be a valid workaround

[alex-lzl]

try this patch mrlequoctuan@e424f74
or just try my fork :)

Your fork saves the day for me! It also fixed unary callback (broken in 1.1.3 here). Thank you!

For anyone using the node:10-alpine docker and installing grpcc globally. Patch like this:

RUN apk add --no-cache --virtual .grpcc-patch curl git  \
    && cd /usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/grpcc \
    && curl -s https://github.com/mrlequoctuan/grpcc/commit/e424f74cf39a4894b41f797b28a8224e38abd731.patch | git apply \
    && apk del .grpcc-patch

Why is this still not merged or fixed?
