createTorrent() sample code does not trigger callback function

[laksh1010]

i tried the simple code mentioend but seems the function (err, torrent) does not give any reponse at all. even an error if something is wrong. my os is win 10. and i created /path/to/folder in project folder and also created a sample test.txt at the end too.

var createTorrent = require('create-torrent')
var fs = require('fs')

        createTorrent('/path/to/folder', function (err, torrent) {

            console.log("SHOULD LOG HERE ANYWAY"); // no luck here at all
            
            if (!err) {
              // `torrent` is a Buffer with the contents of the new .torrent file
              fs.writeFile('my.torrent', torrent)
            }
          })

you’ll have to use writeFileSync

    // `torrent` is a Buffer with the contents of the new .torrent file
    fs.writeFileSync('my.torrent', torrent)
  }
})

    // `torrent` is a Buffer with the contents of the new .torrent file
    fs.writeFileSync('my.torrent', torrent)
  }
})

I already tried it mate. the problem is even that console log before that would not trigger

console.log("SHOULD LOG HERE ANYWAY"); // no luck here at all

i mean the whatever in call back function , does not trigger.

Do you have any working code mate. kindly let me know if you have.

I am stuck here for days and could not find any torrent creating solution in node either :(

hi
Can you tell me the solution?

@laksh1010 Did you update /path/to/torrent to be the actual path that your files exist at? It would be very helpful if you could share a .zip file with the code you wrote and files you are trying to create a torrent for so we can reproduce the issue.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
