NodeJS 6.4.0 Empty String Range Error

[spanditcaa]

We are seeing errors (stack below) from tedious in our API under node 6.4 due to this new bug:

nodejs/node#8127

It sounds like this will be fixed in node, a fix isn't necessary in tedious but I wanted to share the finding.

I'm experiencing the same bug.

Just updated to node 6.4.0, am getting this too

[spanditcaa]

nodejs/node#8154 is the fix and should be in node 6.4.1

[arthurschreiber]

It looks like there won't be any 6.4.1 release, but 6.5.0 will get released soon and contains the fix for this issue. See nodejs/node#8253

Working normally with node 6.5.0.
