Adding torrent without any error and then nothing happens

[vinz243]

Here is my code that is supposed to add a torrent and download it:

// use this in promise
        var self = this;

        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            if(!this._hash){
                this._state = State.INVALID;
                return reject(INVALID_ERROR());
            }

            // Do not init() twice
            if(this.isInitialized())
                return reject(new TypeError('Torrent '+self._hash+' is already initialized'));

            var parsed;
            try {
                parsed = parseTorrent(this._source);

            } catch(err) {
                return reject(err);
            }
            self._init = true;
            self._title = parsed.name || 'loading title...';
            self._state = State.LOADING;

            this.emit('change');
            this.emit('change:state');
            this.emit('initializing');

            this._torrent = this._config.client.add(this._source, (torr) => {
                console.log('TORRENT ADDED');
                this._state = State.CONNECTING;
                this.emit('change');
                this.emit('change:state');
                this.emit('connecting');
            });

            this._state = State.LOADING;

            this.emit('change');
            this.emit('change:state');
            this.emit('initialized');

            this._torrent.on('download', (chunkSize) => {
                if(!this.isDownloading()){
                    this._state = State.DOWNLOADING;
                    this.emit('change');
                    this.emit('change:state');
                    this.emit('downloading')
                }
                this.emit('download', chunkSize);
            });

            this._torrent.on('upload', (chunkSize) => {
                this.emit('upload', chunkSize);
            });

            this._torrent.on('error', (err) => {
                console.log('Error: ', err);
                this.emit('error', err);
            });

            this.on('download', this._onDownload);
            this.on('upload', this._onUpload);
            resolve({
                hash: this._hash,
                title: this._name
            });
        });

However it does not work (source: 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:09e37f73e51f403bb543517f0d0a2e1283d61eb0&dn=archlinux-2015.12.01-dual.iso&tr=udp://tracker.archlinux.org:6969&tr=http://tracker.archlinux.org:6969/announce)

I mean, the torrent is added successfully, no error is thrown, but then nothing happens. No request is logged in the request log in chrome dev tools, no error in the console nothing. Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

It's hard to see what the issue might be looking at a random snippet from your codebase. Nothing stands out as obviously wrong.

You can enable debug logs across all of the various webtorrent packages by setting the DEBUG environment variable in your shell.

DEBUG=* node your-script.js

In the browser, you can do the same by running this in your console and refreshing the page:

localStorage.debug = '*'

This is documented here: https://github.com/feross/webtorrent#enable-debug-logs

Then, please paste the full debug output here and I can take a look.

OK thanks! I just realized I need to use Node if I want UDP and TDP peers and not only WebRTC peers. I have another issue in node but it is not the place. Will open a new issue if you don't mind

[feross]

Yep, that's right – the browser can only connect to WebRTC peers.
