pisamad / p4api Goto Github PK

I keep getting this error:

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be one of type string, Buffer, ArrayBuffer, Array, or Array-like Object. Received type object
    at Function.from (buffer.js:219:9)

    at App.checkP4Config (C:\git\myproject\main.js:71:10)
    at App.emit (events.js:205:15)

which really makes no sense because the command I am making is:

var cmd = "changes -m1 -s submitted C:/Perforce/...#have";
p4.cmdSync(cmd);

So, I'm clearly passing a string, which makes the error very confusing :(

This is concerning only P4.cmdSync() with input option and when length of an input is upper then 128 bytes.
Ex : P4.cmdSync ('label -i' , {Label:'myLabel', 'Description:'Bla .... Bla ..... (length >= 128)'})

P4 result is an error : 'Invalid marchalled'

Without a specific license for this project, it is difficult for others to use, legally. Could you please choose one and update the README and package.json file appropriately (and probably add a LICENSE.txt file as well). Thank you for writing this very useful library.

Hey there, is there any chance you could publish latest to npm? I was hoping to pull down my binary path change from December into a project.

% node --version
v8.11.2

% npm --version
5.6.0

% npm install p4api --save

let { P4 } = require('p4api')
Error: Cannot find module 'p4api'

Do you have any suggestion about above usage?

I would like to get a unified diff between two versions of a file, and the -G option prevents p4 diff2 -u //some/file#1 //some/file#2 from returning appropriate results.

It looks like this repo has worked around this by using the p4-oo package, but would be nice to have everything available in p4api.
