TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestedDisconnect' of null

Hi I got this error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestedDisconnect' of null
at Client.send (/data/project/lolrrit-wm/lolrrit-wm/node_modules/irc/lib/irc.js:932:19)
at dequeue (/data/project/lolrrit-wm/lolrrit-wm/node_modules/irc/lib/irc.js:962:22)

Possible fix proposed in #477

[paladox]

Oh thankyou

[jascott1]

I manually applied the patch in #477 to solve this 'requestedDisconnect' issue but I am still seeing the same behavior.

@ahti123 looking at that, that shows a different error compared to here.

There it says 'readyState' whereas here shows 'requestedDisconnect'

[ahti123]

Yep, my bad, I have a "TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestedDisconnect' of null" too and the fix I pointed here does not work for me, too :)

This is working for me so far but I have not looked into it for any consequences.

Also seen a similar issue with node-irc v0.5.2 and node v6.9.1.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestedDisconnect' of null
    at Client.send (/path/to/node_modules/irc/lib/irc.js:936:19)

    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:207:5)

But, I could avoid this by using node-irc v0.3.7
