web3.eth.accounts.decrypt: createDecipheriv is not a function

[narcis2007]

I get "TypeError: crypto.createDecipheriv is not a function" when I try to do web3.eth.accounts.decrypt. A possible fix: nwjs/nw.js#880

ERROR TypeError: crypto.createDecipheriv is not a function

I still get core.es5.js:1020 ERROR TypeError: cryp.createDecipheriv is not a function
at Accounts.webpackJsonp.../../../../web3-eth-accounts/src/index.js.Accounts.decrypt (index.js:252)

I still get the same error

[narcis2007]

Found the problem, it should be crypto = require('crypto-browserify'); instead of crypto = require('crypto');

Hi !
I get another error when using the method web3.eth.accounts.encrypt(privateKey, password);
The source of the error is the same that @narcis2007 commented about.

Definitely there is something wrong with var cryp = require('crypto');, because I did also changed to var cryp = require('crypto-browserify'); and it worked !

Do you have any update on that, @frozeman ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello,
I got the same error with : web3.eth.accounts.encrypt(privateKey, password);
I use this version 1.0.0-beta.26

[frozeman]

The next version will have crypto-browserify as well.
