torrent.on events of client.seed and client.add

[Tercus]

• WebTorrent version: 0.86.2
• Node.js version: 5.10.1

I have the following testcode:

client.seed(torrentfile, { announceList: [['ws://localhost:8080']] }, onseed)
function onseed (torrent) {
    console.log('onseed getting called')
    torrent.on('infoHash', function() { console.log('infoHash') })
    torrent.on('metadata', function() { console.log('metadata') })
    torrent.on('ready', function() { console.log('ready') })
    torrent.on('done', function() { console.log('done') })
    torrent.on('download', function() { console.log('download') })
    torrent.on('wire', function() { console.log('wire') })
}
client.on('torrent', function (torrent) {
    console.log('client.on getting called')
    torrent.on('infoHash', function() { console.log('Co infoHash') })
    torrent.on('metadata', function() { console.log('Co metadata') })
    torrent.on('ready', function() { console.log('Co ready') })
    torrent.on('done', function() { console.log('Co done') })
    torrent.on('download', function() { console.log('Co download') })
    torrent.on('wire', function() { console.log('Co wire') })
})

Of all the torrent.on events, only the event "done" gets called and only on the client.on part of the code.

A dedicated torrent.on('seeding') and/or other events would be great to figure out when a torrent is actually starting/ready to seed.

It seems like this is not just affecting the ones from client.seed, but also the ones from client.add. I added a torrent with client.add and tried to use the torrent.on events inside of client.on, but only the events 'done' and 'download' were called, all the others did nothing.

I edited the title

Can only be accessed sync. Added the note here #750 and also added uploaded event.

@Tercus This is what your example should look like:

var torrent = client.seed(torrentfile, { announceList: [['ws://localhost:8080']] }, onseed)

torrent.on('infoHash', function() { console.log('infoHash') })
torrent.on('metadata', function() { console.log('metadata') })

torrent.on('ready', function() {
  console.log('ready')
  torrent.on('done', function() { console.log('done') })
  torrent.on('download', function() { console.log('download') })
  torrent.on('wire', function() { console.log('wire') })
})

function onseed (torrent) {
  console.log('onseed getting called')
}
