Cannot properly Proxy 'os' methods

[oNaiPs]

I cannot get the following example to work:

require('harmonize')(['harmony_proxies']);
require('harmony-reflect');

var os = require('os');

var p = new Proxy(os, {});

console.log(os.type())
console.log(p.type())

This is what I get as output:

Linux
(...)file.js:9
console.log(p.type())
              ^

TypeError: Illegal invocation
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/onaips/node-lazy-require/oi.js:9:15)
    at Module._compile (module.js:435:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:442:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:311:12)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:467:10)
    at startup (node.js:134:18)
    at node.js:961:3

Looks like the this context is not being properly set. Is this a bug or I shouldn't be doing it?

By default, a proxy will pass the proxy itself as the this value to a forwarded method call. Since the os.type method expects a real os object as its this value, the call fails.

To avoid this, try overriding the proxy handler's get method to return a function that binds this to the target object that it wraps:

var p = new Proxy(os, {
  get: function(target, name, receiver) {
    if (typeof target[name] === "function") {
     return target[name].bind(target);
    }
    return Reflect.get(target, name, receiver);
  }
})

Does this solve your problem?

Indeed it helps! I ended up changing it to

    get: function(receiver, name) {
        var target = this.ensureInitialized(target);
        if (isNative(target[name])) {
            return target[name].bind(target);
        }
        return Reflect.get(target, name, receiver);
    },

Not sure if it would make sense this project though.
Thanks!
