file.type is not a function

[atorber]

When I used puppet-wxwork in wechaty version 0.62.1, I encountered an error：

TypeError: file.type is not a function
at PuppetService.messageSendFile (/Users/choogoo/workspace/wechaty-mqtt-link/node_modules/wechaty-puppet-service/dist/src/client/puppet-service.js:660:46)

I found the error code. Can you help me solve the problem of file-box?

I tried the file-box latest and next versions, and the error is the same.

The wechaty-puppet-service version is 0.21.11

When I try to skip the if judgment, the problem is solved. Is this the problem of file-box or wechaty-puppet-service?

Could you please try the latest version of the wechaty-puppet-service@1.19.2 to see if this issue exists? (Using https://github.com/wechaty/getting-started for easy getting started with Wechaty v1.x)

The FileBox has a breaking change between versions for the type because we upgraded to using the Interface instead of the Implementation.

• in the previous version, it's a method (filebox.type()),
• but in the latest version, it's a property (filebox.type).

See:

file-box/src/file-box.ts

Lines 434 to 442 in b345a22

	/**
	* We are using a getter for `type` is because
	* getter name can be enumurated by the `Object.hasOwnProperties()`*
	* but property name can not.
	*
	* * required by `validInterface()`
	*/
	readonly _type: FileBoxType
	get type () { return this._type }

Another way of thinking, can I solve it by reducing the version of file box？

I want to solve the problem under 0.xx, and then try to migrate to 1.xx

Of course. You can lock the FileBox version by npm install file-box@0.x.y as you needed.

If you can set up a reproducible repo, I might be able to help by figuring the workable version out for you.
