combinedStream.pipe() not working

[jasonkuhrt]

The pipe to moo does not work (node 0.10.x).

var pipeline = Combine(foo,bar,zed);
pipeline.pipe(moo);

[dominictarr]

can you post runnable code? and is zed a readable stream?

[jasonkuhrt]

@dominictarr Hm, this contrived test works:

var PS = require('stream').PassThrough;
var sc = require('stream-combiner');
var ps1 = new PS();
var ps2 = new PS();
var ps3 = new PS();
var ps4 = new PS();
var pl = sc(ps1,ps2,ps3);

pl.pipe(ps4);
pl.write('Hungry');

ps4.setEncoding('utf-8');

ps4.on('data', function(string) {
  console.log(string);
});

I must now review my use-case.

[dominictarr]

hmm, that would work if you used through instead of passthrough...

if you really want to use stream2, I think this module: https://npmjs.org/package/bun is the same idea as stream-combiner but for streams2.

@dominictarr thanks for the link. I did not know about bun. What do you advocate as the best approach to streams for someone new to them? Asking them not to become familiar and comfortable with the natives seems like a stretch.

@dominictarr bun works so I assume that the issue is simply a node version incompatibility and not a bug in stream-combiner per-se. Feel free to close. You may want to update your readme with support information.
