Predictable pseudo random number

[yanickrochon]

I expected this module to return the same sequence of random numbers if seeded with the same value. But it seems completely unpredictable. I'm I missing something?

const rng = random.clone(seed).uniform();

rng();
rng();
rng();

I would've expected the three rnd() calls to return the same random numbers every time.

This was definitely a bug; sorry about that.

I just published a fix that hopefully resolves your issue as v2.1.1.

Thank you, but unfortunately it does not. The same example provided in this issue always returns different values, even giving the same seed.

@transitive-bullshit Will this be resolved?

Same issue here.

Fortunatly this problem seems to be solved when using seedrandom explicitly:

// always random
const rng = random.clone('my-new-seed')
 
// always the same results
const rng2 = random.clone(seedrandom('kittyfoo'))

Just tested with v4 and this has been resolved after this fix https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/random/commit/4243d10c8139fe18878f4b186ad18ff67cac789c
