base64 serialization / deserialization not working properly

[paralin]

var protobufjs = require('protobufjs');
var ro = protobufjs.loadSync('./test.proto');

var test = ro.lookup('test.Binary');
var enc = test.encode({bytesField: 'abc='}).finish();
var dec = test.decode(enc);

var decb64 = dec.bytesField.toString('base64');
if (decb64 === 'abc=') {
  console.log('Test passed.');
} else {
  console.log(decb64 + ' != abc= (expected)');
}

syntax = "proto3";
package test;

message Binary {
  bytes bytes_field = 1;
}

Output:

AAAAAA== != abc= (expected)

Extracted from a failing test case in grpc. long is not installed. Node v6.9.1

There is no base64 encoder/decoder included anymore. Have been thinking about making a minimal one for these cases.

Buffer can do it in Node and atob in the browser?

[dcodeIO]

Yeah, not much of an issue with node of course, but atob makes binary strings.

[dcodeIO]

Done, give it a try!

Looks good!
