Web3.js: "filterCreationErrorCallback is not a function" Error

[mpolci]

I got the following exception:

/home/user/Desktop/Projects/ethapi/node_modules/web3/lib/web3/filter.js:153
            filterCreationErrorCallback(error);
            ^

TypeError: filterCreationErrorCallback is not a function

The error is in the Filter constructor and caused by a call without the filterCreationErrorCallback parameter in the AllSolidityEvents.execute and SolidityEvent.execute methods.

I've got the same problem. Most weird, this yields an unhandled exception and I don't know, how to catch it. This is my code (using truffle). To reproduce, make the provider unavailable (stop or pause ethereum node)

function getEvents(contract) {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
        try {
            var allEvents = contract.allEvents({fromBlock: 0});
            allEvents.get(function(error, events){
                if(error) 
                    reject(error);
                else
                    resolve(events);
            });
        } catch (error){
            reject(error);
        };   
    });

Or is this a bug in truffle?

I got the same error. TypeError: filterCreationErrorCallback is not a function.
The package.json file set the following dependencies:

  "dependencies": {
    "babel-runtime": "^6.18.0",
    "bcrypt": "^1.0.1",
    "clipboard": "^1.5.12",
    "meteor-node-stubs": "~0.2.0",
    "web3": "^0.18.2",
    "xhr2": "^0.1.4",
    "xmlhttprequest": "^1.8.0"
  }

What's wrong?

I can confirm the same error is happening to me, the only dependency I have is eslint

I believe this issue may be caused by truffle / web3 version issues. downgrading truffle versions has resolved this issue for me.

[ArjunBhuptani]

Thats interesting, having the same issue but not using truffle at all. Let me try an earlier version of Web3, though. Thanks for the suggestion!

[slothbag]

Same issue here, not using Truffle. Just latest version of web3 from npm. 0.18.2 I believe.

The following pull request fixes the exception, without breaking backwards compatibility: https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/pull/861

Still getting this error on truffle migrate. Truffle v3.4.4
