Bug in ws-slave lets crash it when userDescriptorDescriptor gets read
mloepfe opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi
Im running the current version of gattacker (git clone) on Kali-Linux.
When I try to get the service description of a device with userDescriptorDescriptor ws-slave crashes. I checked the async.detect() API and found that the crashing code does not follow the specification. It does not use the error argument. I tried to fix it with the following patch - and it works.
957c957
< return callback(descriptor.uuid === '2901');
---
> return callback(null, descriptor.uuid === '2901');
959c959
< function(userDescriptionDescriptor){
---
> function(error, userDescriptionDescriptor){
Here is the exception traceback:
/root/projects/gattacker/ws-slave.js:961
userDescriptionDescriptor.readValue(function(error, data) {
^
TypeError: userDescriptionDescriptor.readValue is not a function

Hi,
thanks for that, you are right!
The code was written for previous async (up to 1.5.2) which used different params syntax. As you can see:
https://github.com/caolan/async/blob/v1.5.2/README.md#detectarr-iterator-callback
the docs explicitly bold the callback does not take error as first argument.
As in package.json we have async 2.0 dependency, I will clear that up, thanks!
