Wrong function on network adapter close?
First of all, I am just a hobby programmer :)
So basically this is my function. I have an order which has many order_pos. From the order_pos i can get the corresponding printer (different item different printer) For your information, i am generating an image which is printed. So i dont have to worry about encoding (like my names show) can print all fonts I want and all sizes I want. But this is just a side note.
static async printOrder(order: Order) {
PrintingService.splitOrderToPrintRequest(order).then(pr => {
for (let printerInfo of pr) {
(new Network(printerInfo.printerAddress)).open((x, device) => {
PrintingService.getOrderFromIDAndPrinters(order.id, printerInfo.id).then(realOrder => {
if (!realOrder) {
throw new Error("Order is null")
}
try {
// @ts-ignore
const printer = new Printer(device, { encoding: "cp437" })
printer.image(new fickEncodings(realOrder, false).toImage()).then(p => {
p.cut;
p.close()
})
}
catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
})
})
}
})
}
You can see i am using the inteded way in the function. But i get following error.
node_modules\@node-escpos\core\dist\index.cjs:1167
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
^
TypeError: this.adapter.close is not a function
with a console.log(p)
in runtime I did see that THE ADAPTER has no close()
instead there is an end()
So I tried changing this part
async close(...closeArgs) {
await this.flush();
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
this.adapter.close((error) => {
if (error)
reject(error);
resolve(this);
}, ...closeArgs);
});
}
to this:
async close(...closeArgs) {
await this.flush();
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
this.adapter.end((error) => {
if (error)
reject(error);
resolve(this);
}, ...closeArgs);
});
}
So i dont know if this is happening to any of you. But with this change its working for me. plus: i dont have any problems with Too much requests, the printjobs will just wait and print after each other. Magic..
