Re: [orion-dev] what is the effect of returning a file or a blob in orio

[Rafael Chaves <rafael@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I guess a blob has to be in instance of Blob:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob

And this would create a blob from a string:

var myBlob = new Blob(["my contents"]);

And this would be a valid command callback result:

return {file: {path: path + "fileName", isDirectory: false, blob: myBlob}};

Still no dice. No errors, no intended result. Gotta run with the
non-minified version of Orion in order to debug this one...
