Uncaught TypeError: writer.on is not a function

[gilbitron]

Trying to use this but when the cache is downloading I get the following error:

node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/request.js:1006: Uncaught TypeError: writer.on is not a function

Any ideas?

Well this is a year later... I'm not sure if the author has kept up with this at all... but it's because the code for the getCache method expects the response from client.getObject to be a stream an dit's not.

The existing code:

    client.getObject({
      Bucket: options.bucket,
      Key: options.cacheDest
    }, function(err, res) {
      if (err && err.statusCode !== 404) return callback(err)
      if (err && err.statusCode === 404) return callback(null)

      es.pipeline(
          res
        , es.split()
        , es.parse()
        , LevelWriteStream(db)()
      ).once('close', callback)
       .once('error', callback)
    })

and what it should be...

    client.getObject({
        Bucket: options.bucket,
        Key: options.cacheDest
    }).createReadStream()
        .once('error', (err) => {
              if (err && err.statusCode !== 404) return callback(err)
              if (err && err.statusCode === 404) return callback(null)
        })
        .pipe(es.split())
        .pipe(es.parse())
        .pipe(LevelWriteStream(db)())
        .once('close', callback)
        .once('error', callback);

Unfortunately I had to hack it a bit with adding

      events.EventEmitter.defaultMaxListeners = 300; // no idea what this number actually should be... I just picked a high number
      client.getObject(...)...
