error received: TypeError: fn.apply is not a function

Im using the following and consistently get the error:

TypeError: fn.apply is not a function
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-notifier/lib/utils.js:175:8

code I'm using that DOES successfully fire a notification on OSX:

var notifier = require('/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-notifier');
// String 
notifier.notify('Message');

// Object 
notifier.notify({
    'title': 'My notification',
    'message': 'Hello, there!'
}, 2000);

immediately after the notification appears, the node.js http server instance crashes.

Im running node v6.2.2 on OSX 10.10.4

What code are you running that fails?

[mikaelbr]

The problem here is the second argument when doing:

// Object 
notifier.notify({
    'title': 'My notification',
    'message': 'Hello, there!'
}, 2000);

See the documentation, the second argument is a callback function, not a time delay.

Passing something other than a function here will cause a error. This probably should throw a typeerror with a descriptive text which says something like second argument being a callback and it should be a optional function.

Hi @mikaelbr . I would like to give this a try.

Perfect! Just let me know if you need any help getting started.
