Node fs.stat name giving undefined

When I do console.log(stats) in a fs.stats function for a file, it gives me something like this:

{ dev: 16777223, mode: 33188, nlink: 1, uid: 501, gid: 20, rdev: 0, blksize: 4096, ino: 49868100, size: 5617, blocks: 16, atime: Mon Jan 05 2015 18:18:10 GMT-0700 (MST), mtime: Thu Sep 25 2014 21:21:28 GMT-0600 (MDT), ctime: Thu Sep 25 2014 21:21:28 GMT-0600 (MDT), birthtime: Thu Sep 25 2014 21:21:28 GMT-0600 (MDT), name: 'README.md', type: 'file' }

Here's the code, I'm using the walk node plugin. The function runs every time it finds a file.

walker.on('files', function(path, stats, next){
    console.log(stats.name);
    next();
});

But when I do console.log(stats.name), it says that it is undefined. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Am I using the wrong property somehow?

Solution

  • You are using walker on files not walker on file. So stats might contain an array of files not only one. Try console.log(stats) to see the stats argument structure for files.

    Or maybe try walker.on('file', function(path, stats, next){});
