TypeError: e.name is undefined after reconnecting to game

Got exception on the "return a.name.localeCompare(b.name);" line

Code Select Expand

        key: "createUniqueInitials",
        value: function createUniqueInitials() {
            var players = this.game.state.players;
            players.sort(function (a, b) {
                return a.name.localeCompare(b.name);
            });
            var previousPrefix = 1;
            for (var i = 0; i < players.length - 1; i++) {
                var prefix = 1;
                for (; prefix < players[i].name.length; prefix++) {
                    if (players[i].name[prefix - 1].toLowerCase() !== players[i + 1].name[prefix - 1].toLowerCase()) break;
                }
                players[i].initials = players[i].name.slice(0, Math.max(previousPrefix, prefix));
                previousPrefix = prefix;
            }
            if (players.length > 1 && players[players.length - 2].name.length === previousPrefix) previousPrefix += 1;
            players[players.length - 1].initials = players[players.length - 1].name.slice(0, previousPrefix);
            players.sort(function (a, b) {
                return a.index - b.index;
            });
        }

Thanks for the report. Some info seems to have been lost after the reconnect.

Seeing this happen again:

Code Select Expand

        value: function createUniqueInitials() {
            var players = this.game.state.players;
            players.sort(function (a, b) {
                return a.name.localeCompare(b.name);
            });
            var previousPrefix = 1;
            for (var i = 0; i < players.length - 1; i++) {
                var prefix = 1;
                for (; prefix < players[i].name.length; prefix++) {
                    if (players[i].name[prefix - 1].toLowerCase() !== players[i + 1].name[prefix - 1].toLowerCase()) break;
                }
                players[i].initials = players[i].name.slice(0, Math.max(previousPrefix, prefix));
                previousPrefix = prefix;
            }


Upon entering this function, the array `this.game.state.players` contains two elements.

this.game.state.players[0].name = undefined
this.game.state.players[1].name = "Dwedit"

Then it crashes when it attempts to sort the players, and the game never starts.

---

It is actually possible to manually get past this one:

* Set a JavaScript breakpoint at the `var players = this.game.state.players;` line
* Go to Console, and assign `this.game.state.players[0].name = "OPPONENT"` (if players[0] was the one without a name)
* Resume execution

When I finally got past it, I saw a "make opponent resign" prompt.  The opponent was probably was having issues too.

Can confirm that quitting the game still costs you rating points.

Can also confirm that if you manage to rejoin the game (using the javascript console), you can make the opponent resign.  Game won't proceed, but reloading the page will take you back to the main screen.

It just keeps happening.
