Undefined exception when creating control

[jgagnet]

I am getting an exception when doing a simple lookup. This is using the Java LdapTemplate provided by spring. The code look like this:

ldapTemplate.lookup("uid=julien,dc=foo,dc=com")

The fix can be to add
if (!value) value = "";
in the index.js on line 47

I am not sure if it's a problem with the Java implementation or ldapjs itself.

Regards,

Julien

Hi Julien,

Sounds good, but can you give me the offending ldapjs stack trace?

Oh, and what version are you using? There was a big controls refactoring a few weeks ago, and I put in a couple fixes last week; suspect this may already be fixe.d

Hi Mark,

Reading my comment I realised I missed a few details.

The stacktrace is:
2012-01-09 17:37:53Z ERROR - Server: Exception happened parsing for 127.0.0.1:57981: TypeError: Cannot call method 'toString' of undefined

This is when calling:
value: value.toString('utf8')

I am running version 0.3.6 of ldapjs.

Thanks for your feedback,

Julien

Oh, yikes, that's ancient in node.js terms :) - Try it on 0.4.3 (that's the latest).

Hi Mark,

Try with 0.4.3 and it's all good. Thanks and apologies about raising this bug.

Hi Julien, no worries - glad you're up and running now.
