Buffer.write: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

I am having an odd error here that I can't seem to track down. I am new to rabbitmq and rabbit.js so I am likely doing something wrong. I am trying to setup a REQ/REP and even this simple example is failing when I send a message.

Here is the code from my server:

"use strict";

var context = rabbit.createContext("amqp://" + process.env.RABBITMQ_USER + ":" + process.env.RABBITMQ_PASSWORD + "@" + process.env.RABBITMQ_1_PORT_5672_TCP_ADDR + ":" + process.env.RABBITMQ_1_PORT_5672_TCP_PORT);

context.on("ready", function () {
  console.log("Rabbit Listening");
  var rep = context.socket("REP");
  rep.setEncoding("utf8");

  rep.on("data", function (msg) {
    var data = JSON.parse(msg);
    console.log("Message Received %j", data);
    var jobId = data.job_id;
    var outData = { test: true };
    console.log("Replying with %j", outData);
    var res = JSON.stringify(outData);
    rep.write(res, "utf8");
  });
  rep.connect("pos.receipt.pdf");
});

context.on("error", function (e) {
  console.error(e, "Rabbit Error");
});

And here is the output I get:

Rabbit Listening
Message Received {"job_id":12711}
Replying with {"test":true}
events.js:125
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^

Any suggestions on how to debug this?

That .. looks fine and works fine for me. Odd indeed.

What versions of Node.JS and rabbit.js are you using?
