getCandles listener never gets triggered

[solarfrantz]

I've tried to get the realtime candles, even waited more the one minute as the official docs says and apparently the listener never gets called, see the code from below:

const x = new XAPI.default({
    accountId: <MY-ACCOUNT-ID>,
    password: <MY-PASSWORD>,
    type: 'demo' // or demo
});

x.connect();

x.onReady(async () => {
    console.log('Connection is ready');

    x.Stream.listen.getCandles((data) => {
        // THIS IS NEVER REACHED
        console.log("GOT DATA", data);
    });

    x.Stream.subscribe.getCandles('BITCOIN')
        .catch(() => { console.error('subscribe for BITCOIN failed')});

})

Am I doing something wrong ?

PS: getTickPrices works as expected

Hi @solarfrantz
I found the bug,
its caused by xOpenHub server logic.

for quick fix you have to do this request before subscribe for candles

x.getPriceHistory({
  symbol: 'BITCOIN',
  period: PERIOD_FIELD.PERIOD_M1,
  ticks: -1
})

I close this ticket and create another one

I created a new issue related to this: #17

That's very odd, have you tried also submitting a bug on their API's, maybe they'll fix it and we won't have to do this ugly workaround ?
