dst parameter not present

[leonyu]

Intermittent dst parameter not present error for send_message on OSX. Only solution is reinstall node_module.

Node.js 6

Error: the object {
  "api_id": "de3aa25c-3d6f-11e6-9264-22000ae40186"
  "error": "dst parameter not present"
} was thrown, throw an Error :)

Does not appear to happen on Linux at all.

can you post the code you use to send the message? what version of the plivo-node library are you using?

Found the bug, it would appear it is an incompatibility issue with request versions. And when request is being specified as devDependencies, it would not pull down a separate older version for plivo.

Here's how to reproduce it:

package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "plivo": "^0.3.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "request": "^2.72.0"
  }
}

test.js

const plivo = require('plivo');

const config = {
    PLIVO_AUTH_ID: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
    PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
    PLIVO_SRC_TEL: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
};


const api = plivo.RestAPI({
authId: config.PLIVO_AUTH_ID,
authToken: config.PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN,
});
api.send_message({
    src: config.PLIVO_SRC_TEL,
    dst: 'XXXXXXXXXX',
    text: 'test sms'
}, function (status, response) {
    if (status >= 400) {
    console.error(response);
    } else {
    console.log(response);
    }
});
