Bitcoinjs-lib: Unable to decode transaction

[Polve]

I'm working with regtest and I'm unable to decode a coinbase transaction, this is the code:

const Bitcoin = require('bitcoinjs-lib')

var buf = new Buffer('020000000001010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ffffffff05022b020101ffffffff02c0cf402500000000232103c6c5964853fd00fb3271ac002831c66825102d223c706ce0ee99e73db3be4aa1ac0000000000000000266a24aa21a9edff828eb21f40ab251d9f107792670aba9299028b894a364fda570f6a089dcfe90120000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000', 'hex')
const tx = Bitcoin.Transaction.fromBuffer(buf)

The error is:

if (offset !== buffer.length) throw new Error('Transaction has unexpected data')
^
Error: Transaction has unexpected data
at Function.Transaction.fromBuffer (/Work/Bitcoin/cm-js/node_modules/bitcoinjs-lib/src/transaction.js:75:39)

But the transaction is fine:

$ bitcoin-cli decoderawtransaction 020000000001010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ffffffff05022b020101ffffffff02c0cf402500000000232103c6c5964853fd00fb3271ac002831c66825102d223c706ce0ee99e73db3be4aa1ac0000000000000000266a24aa21a9edff828eb21f40ab251d9f107792670aba9299028b894a364fda570f6a089dcfe90120000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Are you using master?

Can't reproduce on master.
See https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib/pull/765 for a reference.

[dcousens]

@afk11 we need to release asap. :+1:
Is there anything holding us back?
Are you able to help with the CHANGELOG?

[Polve]

I'm using version 2.3.0 since the readme clearly states:

If you are thinking of using the master branch of this library in production, stop

:-)

[afk11]

I'll go over the commits and push release notes somewhere for you! I'd ask about tagging, but you'll be awake soon :)

[Polve]

Someone can explain me why this coinbase transaction has a zero output with an op return?

[dcousens]

Closing in favour of https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib/issues/778

[dcousens]

Someone can explain me why this coinbase transaction has a zero output with an op return?

Not without further investigation which I don't have the time for.
It is testnet, it may be someone testing an idea?
