I'm trying to issue a i3.command('restart') and that basically kills my i3ipc client object. I then try to re-create the i3ipc client object. That doesn't seem to work? I get this error:

"Uncaught Error: connect ENOENT", source: events.js (82)

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to make it happen? Thanks for your package and help so far.

i3 has nothing to do with ion. Please remove the wrong wording.

I registered for window events

i3.on('window', function() {
   console.log(arguments);
});

and the success response for a subscription is an object {"success":true} but line 145 seems to be expecting an array? Can you please take a look?

example:

var i3 = require('i3').createClient();

i3.tree((err,tree) => {
    console.log(tree);
});

stdout:

buffer.js:761
        return this.utf8Write(string, offset, length);
                    ^

node version 6.4.0
node-i3 version 0.2.0
i3 version 4.12
work perfecly with node 6.3.1

Sway is a wayland equivalent to i3.

I did it myself by adding

I3IpcClient.prototype.inputs = function(cb) {
	this.message(100, null, cb);
};

I3IpcClient.prototype.seats = function(cb) {
	this.message(101, null, cb);
};

to index.js

and changing var GET_SOCKET_PATH_CMD = 'i3 --get-socketpath';to var GET_SOCKET_PATH_CMD = 'sway --get-socketpath';

This line

handler(null, payload[0])

does not work if the response to i3.tree or i3.workspaces returns an object or array with multiple items. A simplistic fix by changing the above to just say payload, works with examples/tree.js but doesn't work reliably in other cases.
