ethereum - Web3.js Admin with IPC

Question

I'm using web3 and web3-eth-admin library with Node. Up till now I had zero problems using the websocket provider.

I'm trying to use the IPC provider instead. Web3 works perfectly. However, web3-eth-admin does not work.

const Web3 = require('web3');
const net = require('net');
const Admin = require('web3-eth-admin');

var web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.IpcProvider('\\.\pipe\geth.ipc', net));

var admin = new Admin.Admin(web3._provider, null, options);
var admin2 = new Admin.Admin(new Web3.providers.IpcProvider('\\.\pipe\geth.ipc', net), null, options);

web3 works without issues. Creating the admin class with either the provider of web3 or creating a new IPC provider gives the following error:

C:UsersadminDesktopApp ode_modulesweb3-providers-ipcsrcindex.js:176 var id = payload.id || payload[0].id; ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined

Any ideas?
