TypeError Exception thrown

[thom4parisot]

Hello,

I try to package an extension through your module but it throws error on almost all configurations I try.
In my extension directory, I have 2 things:

• key.pem
• src/ in which I have all html, css and js files

When I type, following your example, crx pack src/ -p key.pem -f, this error is shown:

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^
TypeError: Not a string or buffer

    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)

However, when I package using Chrome, it is successful (such as the extension install):

/path/to/Google\ Chrome --pack-extension=./src/ --pack-extension-key=./key.pem

node --version
v0.6.2

crx --version
0.2.0

it looks like this if failing when the contents are loaded using the zip command. are you sure zip is installed on your machine, and that it works properly? if you can, try running zip -qr -9 -X - . -x key.pem and see if it creates the archive successfully.

Hi,

I used zip -qr -9 -X - ./src/ -x key.pem > src.crx otherwise I had an error (zip error: Invalid command arguments (cannot write zip file to terminal)).

which zip
/usr/bin/zip

It packaged properly into src.crx file.

hmm, i seem to have introduced a regression during my last refactor. may apologies. i'll look into it today, but for now the programatic interface should be working, so give that a shot.

Cool thanks. For notice, even if I have the error, the crx is created but with a 0KB size.

I started to dig in the code but I haven't noticed where the problem was located.
