JavaScript TypeError when connecting Antares SQL to Firebird SQL (Windows)

[Ayush Bhattacharya]

I am encountering a persistent issue while attempting to connect Antares SQL to my Firebird SQL database, and I would greatly appreciate any insights or assistance you can provide.

Issue is,

When I try to establish a new connection in Antares SQL to my local Firebird database, I receive a "JavaScript error occurred in the browser process" pop-up. The full error message is as follows:  

TypeError: [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE] The "string" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or ArrayBuffer. Received undefined at Function.byteLength (node:buffer:66:11) at XdWriter.addString (C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\62514FabioDias.AntaresSQLClient_0.7.35.0_x64__c1f5bb18wSwc\app\Connection.js:22) at Connection.connect (C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\62514FabioDias.AntaresSQLClient_0.7.35.0_x64__c1f5bb18wSwc\app\Connection.js:80)

This error specifically indicates that a "string" argument is receiving an "undefined" value during the connection process within Antares SQL, pointing to a TypeError: [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE].  

Antares SQL Version: 0.7.35.0
Firebird SQL Version: 5.0.2  

I don't know how to solve this issue. I have tried every possible solutions to solve (known to me!) this issue, but nothing worked so far... Kindly support!

This sounds like a bug in AntaresSQL to me. I've never heard of that
tool, but I guess you need to report a bug with them.
