Cannot read split of undefined, and trailing bytes

[zacharynevin]

I have the following package versions:

{
    "redis": "2.0.1",
    "socket.io": "1.3.7",
    "socket.io-emitter": "0.2.0",
    "socket.io-redis": "0.1.4",
}

My redis version is 2.8.21.

When I instantiate socket.io-redis with return_buffers set to true for the clients, I get the following error:

channel.split("#") <!-- cannot read split of undefined

If I monkey patch the code in index.js for socket.io-redis so that the channel is a string, I get a trailing bytes error. Additionally, when I downgrade redis to 1.0.0, I get a trailing bytes error.

I can deal with downgrading redis to 1.0.0. However, no permutation of socket.io-redis, socket.io-emitter, and redis seems to ever solve the trailing bytes error. This is a very critical issue for me. Is there an initiative to fix it in the very near future?

Yes there is already fix for it, but is not tagged, so there is no package for it on npmjs. #73 (comment) there is some workaround for it.
