Uncaught TypeError: item.path.shift is not a function

[arranlomas]

I have seen this issue raised previously with regards to brave (eg. #526). I am having this issue in chrome.

I am using the typescript type definitions here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/webtorrent

It only happens if I add multiple files with the same prefix, for example download 1 and download 2

What version of this package are you using?
0.107.3

What operating system, Node.js, and npm version?
node: v10.16.2
npm: 6.9.0
browser: chrome 76.0.3809.100

What happened?
When adding multiple torrents with File[] Uncaught TypeError: item.path.shift is not a function is thrown

What did you expect to happen?
No error plz 🙏. Expect files to be added as with files without the same prefix.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?
Yes

Thanks for this excellent library, very interesting project!

I haven't been able to pin down the source of this. A code example that can reliably reproduce this issue in Chrome would be most helpful!

It's actually coming from here: https://github.com/webtorrent/create-torrent/blob/fb1d634529a87c04c58217fa2d8c8d4c8e016234/index.js#L131

Closing this issue in favour of the issue you linked. I didn't realise the issue was coming from create-torrent 👍

Will continue discussion there. I can reliably reproduce the issue so will see if there are any tests that can cover this or make a small project to share. (Larger project is not ready to open-source yet).

Cheers.
