• Subsystem: Graph (object.put)

Type: Bug

Severity: Medium

Description:

ipfs.object.put(new Buffer(data)) doesn't work when used in the browser (bundled with webpack)
Error:

ACCESS ERROR: Error: No resolver found for codec "undefined" ipfs-access-controller.js:33
    at IPLDResolver.put (index.js:221)

ipfs-access-controller is a file from orbit-db
https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/src/ipfs-access-controller.js#L33

Steps to reproduce the error:

git clone https://github.com/Anchor-Chat/Anchor-Web.git
cd Anchor-Web
npm i
npm start

now open http://localhost:8000 in the web browser (i used the latest chrome)
now type in any password and login and click "register"
An error message should pop up in the UI but to get details see the developer console.

@lukas2005 I've just tried ipfs.object.put(new Buffer('ddd')) using our webpack example https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/browser-webpack and I'm not getting the error. I suspect this is an error in your application code or in the orbitdb code or possibly in the webpack config being used. Please re-open a new issue if you discover this to not be the case.

@alanshaw One thing i discovered (that's too small to make a complete new issue for) if i replace
const r = this.resolvers[options.format](line 219) with
const r = this.resolvers[options.format || options.cid.codec]
everything works fine
isn't options.format supposed to be optional?
