TypeError: ast.remove is not a function

[thenewvu]

Sir, I've met this error with all CSS files and with both custom and default configure:

(node:25107) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): TypeError: ast.remove is not a function
(node:25107) DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

This error only occurs in v4.0.1, not with v3.1.7.

My environment:

node v7.7.1
arch linux 4.9.11

I get the following similar error:

(node:2323) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): TypeError: Cannot read property 'is' of null
(node:2323) DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Same error here

Similar error when running csscomb@4.0.1 as an exec command with ant. Like @thenewvu, no error with version 3.1.7:

csscomb:
     [exec] (node:66140) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): TypeError: this._parseString(...).then is not a function

My env:

Apache Ant 1.9.7
node 6.10.2
macOS 10.12.4

Getting error in Atom Beautify 0.29.26 which uses CSS Comb. How to resolve?

Temporary workaround: Remove "block-indent": " ", from the .csscomb.json file and the error ceases to appear and ceases to block the rest of the formatting. That means no indenting of blocks until fixed, but still better than no formatting at all.

[janwerkhoven]

Is it this line of code that is failing?
https://github.com/csscomb/csscomb.js/blob/dev/src/options/block-indent.js#L48

[janwerkhoven]

Is nobody maintaining this?

[obenjiro]

@janwerkhoven I do maintain this repository. I will look into this asap.

[mfeckie]

Should this

https://github.com/csscomb/csscomb.js/blob/dev/src/options/block-indent.js#L48

ast.remove(i);

not be

ast.removeChild(i); ?

I am having the same issue and changing
"eof-newline": false,
to true fixes the fault. Hope that helps finding the issue.

@ryanbowden It works! Thanks.
