First of all, I'm new to NodeJS development. I'm liking it so far (except for a few annoyances here and there).

I am extending development of nodebb-plugin-import-ipboard (forked and will send a PR once it's done) to support a bunch of stuff the current plugin does not currently support, for instance:

• IPB replies which are in a special blockquote format.
• Spoiler blocks
• Mentions
• A few more things...

On my nodebb-plugin-import-ipboard/index.js file, which I'm requiring from a manual test.js file (so it's not running inside NodeBB!), I placed a:
var db = require('nodebb-plugin-import/server/db');

But when I try to use it like this:
var imported_post = db.getObject("_imported_post:1566");
I just get "undefined".
I can see on the debugger variables Redis is loaded (but I don't know if it was loaded correctly.)

I also tried loading data instead of db:
var data = require('nodebb-plugin-import/server/data');
and
var imported_post = data.getImportedPost("1566");

And I just get undefined.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Apparently this happens when NodeBB uses async.parallel().
If you disable the minifier, the error will happen with the templates system, sound system, and so on.

I've been struggling with this all day and no luck.
Even when I run from the command line I still get the error:
