TypeError: Cannot read property 'unbox' of undefined

Hi! I'm trying out Patchfoo with the latest version of Scuttlebot, but it looks like I'm running into an error. Are there any steps I should take to debug? Thanks!

$ npm start

sbot.private.unbox TypeError: Cannot read property 'unbox' of undefined

the problem seems to be that ssb-private is missing. I thought patchfoo handles these gracefully, though... :confused:

also notice:

error loading sodium bindings: Cannot find module 'sodium-native' falling back to javascript version.

npm packaged blobs tend to be biggeren than the default: %F0N9g4M...

@cryptix

Oh, do I need to manually add that to my SSB config? Here's what it looks like now:

{
  "gossip": {
    "global": true
  },
  "blobs": {
    "max": 10000000
  },
  "plugins": {
    "ssb-links": "links2",
    "ssb-npm-registry": true
  },
  "connections": {
    "incoming": {
      "net": [{ "port": 8008, "scope": "public", "transform": "shs", "external": "example.com" }]
    },
    "outgoing": {
      "net": [{ "transform": "shs" }]
    }
  }
}

Ignore the example.com bit, I don't think that's relevant here. 😉

yup! this list of .use(require(..))s is the set that patchbay loads into its sbot. so you need to install all of those through sbot plugins.install (which adds them to your config) if you start ssb-server standalone.

Closed as patchfoo no longer requires ssb-private, so this TypeError should no longer happen.
