ie8 parallel results array undefined

[mattydoincode]

Howdy friends,

I believe there's a bug with parallel. Getting the results array works great in modern browsers, and fails miserably in ie8. I'm not exactly sure why, though I will investigate. Here's a code example to try:

async.parallel([
    function(callback) {
        callback(null, { a: 'b' });
    }
], function(err, results) {
        var i = results; //results is an empty array in ie8!!
});

Thanks!

Why was this issue closed? Am I using the issue system incorrectly? Is it not a bug?

I think your issue got caught in a bulk close. Have you tried with the just-published version 0.4.0? It may have already been fixed.

@mattydoincode thanks for reporting, if you find it still fails with 0.4.0 we'll re-open this :)

@caolan thanks for following up.

Just pulled the code and still getting the same results. I'll go digging. Maybe you can point me in the right direction?

After some digging, found out that in a separate part of my code, a library was defining Array.prototype.map if map was undefined (as in, if the browser is IE8 etc). This map wasn't compatible with the _map function you use in async. I was able to rectify the problem.

Feel free to close the issue! Thanks.

Glad you found the cause @mattydoincode :)
