Error using transformHeader with header: true and worker: true

[bleuf1sh]

The error was about not being able to clone in postMessage.

I was working with a remote csv in a Chrome Web Front End.

[pokoli]

could you post the full tracebak?

I've provided the example function as well and removed private details.

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'Worker': (h) => {
                    return h.trim();
                } could not be cloned.

      });
    });
  }

I'm having this same problem as well. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Having the same issue over here. Would love to find a workaround for this.

Same here...

Is there any update with this issue? I'm seeing this problem too

👍 on this, it seems like transformHeader is incompatible with worker: true which really stinks. Even transformHeader: header => header seems like it fails; assuming the function is being passed to the worker and simply cannot be serialized.

Might at least want to update the documentation to reflect this; did not see it referenced.

Just so as not to poo all over an amazing project: PapaParse is really excellent and has proven utterly invaluable, so thanks for such an awesome tool 🎊

I'm a new PapaParse user, and I wish this were fixed or documented. It would have saved me some time. The last message was over a year ago, and I hate to beat a dead horse, but is there any update on this issue?

Same thing happen to me but with transform and not transformHeader, it seems that the error is the same.
