Error : Assertion failed bn.js:6 about eth-ecies HOT 9 CLOSED

Both encrypt and decrypt in eth-ecies are synchronous. Try removing the async/await?
Also, which line is causing the error? Can you show the stack trace?

from eth-ecies.

Removed async and await.Still getting the same error .Plus in nodejs it works with async await too.
The exact line where the error occurs is this(the one where the decrypt function of the ecies library is called):-
let decryptedData = ecies.decrypt(userPrivateKey, bufferEncryptedData);

NOTE:- I have this line at the top of my code to import the library
const ecies = require("eth-ecies");

from eth-ecies.

This is the bn.js file (as shown in the browser console)which throws the error(at line 6)
(function (module, exports) {
'use strict';
// Utils
function assert (val, msg) {
if (!val) throw new Error(msg || 'Assertion failed');
}

from eth-ecies.

Can you paste the stack trace?

from eth-ecies.

The stack trace before minifying your js bundle? Do you have source maps? if you use create react app it should print stack trace in console or on screen.

Anyway, I suspect it's the BN.toBuffer function, at assert(typeof Buffer !== 'undefined');. It has something to do with the Buffer polyfill. A fix is on the way. Thanks for the issue.

Version 1.0.3 uses safe-buffer and it should have fixed this issue. Please update the package
