I want to use the JavaScript .apply method to functions of a thrift compiled for Node.js. The thrift .js file has code like this:
...var NimbusClient = exports.Client = function(output, pClass) { this.output = output; this.pClass = pClass; this.seqid = 0; this._reqs = {};};NimbusClient.prototype = {};NimbusClient.prototype.getClusterInfo = function(callback) { this.seqid += 1; // line where error is thrown [0] this._reqs[this.seqid] = callback; this.send_getClusterInfo();};...My server file looks the following way:
var thrift = require('thrift') , nimbus = require('./Nimbus') , connection = thrift.createConnection('127.0.0.1', 6627) , client = thrift.createClient(nimbus, connection) , ... // server initiation etcapp.get('/nimbus/:command', function(req, res, next) { client[req.params.command](console.log); // direct call [1] client[req.params.command].apply(this, [console.log]); // apply call [2]});...The direct call [1] returns the values as expected, but the apply call [2] always produces the following error in line [0]:
TypeError: Cannot set property 'NaN' of undefinedI tried several other scope parameters in [2]: null, nimbus, nimbus.Client, nimbus.Client.prototype, nimbus.Client.prototype[req.params.command] and client[req.params.command], all without success.
How can I call the apply method without changing the actual scope of the function called, so that it behaves exactly the same as it would if called in the direct way?
