ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined

[otto2me]

Hi,

I like to use jira.js and have addit it to my project. However, I run into problems when I try to login to jira, by getting the below buffer error:

error userlogin ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined
at Object.getAuthentication (index.js:35)
at Client. (index.js:172)
at step (index.js:55)
at Object.next (index.js:36)
at index.js:30
at new ZoneAwarePromise (zone-mix.js:913)
at push.32ji.__awaiter (index.js:26)
at Client.sendRequest (index.js:166)
at Myself. (myself.js:151)
at step (myself.js:44)

I setup my conection like this:

const jira = new Client({
  host: host,
  authentication: {
    basic: {
      username: username,
      password: password
    }
  }
});

return jira.myself.getCurrentUser()
.then((user) => {
   console.log('userlogin',user);
  return user;
})
.catch((err) => {
  console.log('error userlogin',err);
  this.logError(err);
  return err;
}); 

The issue seems to be in node_modules\jira.js\out\helpers\index.js where the buffer cannot be used:
return "Basic " + Buffer.from(username + ":" + (apiToken || password)).toString('base64');

Any idea what I can do?
Without success I tried inside polyfills.ts:
(window as any)['global'] = window;
global.Buffer = global.Buffer || require('buffer').Buffer;

thx

Hi @otto2me, are you running the application on Node.JS, or is it designed to work in a browser? If for NodeJS, please tell me the version.

Hi,

I try to use it with the latest electron package, my setup is:
Angular CLI: 10.2.3
Node: 12.20.1
OS: win32 ia32

Thanks! I will deploy the same environment and try to reproduce

Ok, using electron I have to setup inside electron/main.js the following:
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600, webPreferences:{nodeIntegration:true, enableRemoteModule:true}})

Now it works.

Seems to be a problem after all, since I had planned to support browsers. I looked at how it worked with angular and was pretty frustrated. So I plan to solve this problem after all
