1.8 passes null member on add/remove? about pusher-js

[mloughran]

Can you include some code that doesn't work? Make sure you're using member.id & member.info rather than the old member.user_id etc - that could be the issue. As an example see http://pusher-presence-demo.heroku.com/

I'm doing something that boils down to (transcribing from coffeescript):

new Pusher(foo).subscribe(bar).bind('pusher:member_added', this.some_fn)

function some_fn(member) {
  console.log("member:", member);
}

and member is null.

edit: the handler is actually in a closure binding it to the instance of the class, but I don't know why that would null member? The pusher debugging output has 'null' being passed to member_added (not my debug output)

Nick, sorry for not getting back to you on this one. That code looks fine so I'm not sure what's going on. All I can say is that this seems to work for other people - is coffeescript doing something weird?

[nickelser]

No problem, I'll try to reduce it down to a test case and get the compiled coffeescript. I agree it looks like it should work...

[mloughran]

Hi Nick - did you ever get this to work? Can I close this issue?

[mloughran]

I believe this issue happens if user_info is not provided for a presence user. This should be fixed, but in the meantime, just add user_info (which you should do anyway :)

gosh sorry for the late response, it looks like that works fine :)
