decode not working on client for ArrayBuffer

[r-vianna]

Hi,

I am using latest version (so setup slightly different from the examples online), but from the client when I pass my response.data to decode I get an empty message back. I then was making a new Uint8Array(response.data) and this was working but I run into stack overflow issues on larger sets of data.

Checked issue #553 and the examples you directed them too but still no luck.

Server Code

let TestMessage = protobuf.load('./public/protos/message.proto')
    .then((root) => {
        TestMessage = root.lookup('testpackage.TestMessage');
    })

router.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
    const isFinal = Number(req.query.count) >= Math.pow(10, 4);
    const count = isFinal ?
        Number(req.query.count) :
        Math.round(Number(req.query.count) * 1.5);
    const data = crypto.randomBytes(count).toString('hex');
    const msg = TestMessage.encode({
        count,
        data,
        isFinal
    }).finish();

    res.send(msg);
});

Client Code

import axios from 'axios';
import * as protobuf from 'protobufjs';

const testTextArea = document.querySelector('textarea.test-area');
let TestMessage = protobuf.load('./protos/message.proto')
    .then((root) => {
        TestMessage = root.lookup('testpackage.TestMessage');
    });


function init(count = 1) {
    return axios.get('/data', {
        params: {
            count
        },
        responseType: 'arraybuffer'
    })
        .then((response) => {
            const data = TestMessage.decode(response.data); 
            //TestMessage.decode(new Uint8Array(response.data)); <- works but have stack issues
            testTextArea.innerHTML = data.data;
            if (data.isFinal) { return; }

            return init(data.count);
        });
}

Using an Uint8Array is correct. Can you paste me one of those stack errors?

Thanks for quick reply!

Sure thing.

You must be using some really huge strings there.

Try again after: npm install @protobufjs/utf8@1.0.3

Or, if you are using master, just make sure that dependencies are up to date / use the new dist files.

Yes... I am :)

Thanks. That did it!
