Am I doing something wrong? When I run node client.js. I am getting this error message:
/web/ws/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/engine.io/lib/server.js:358
var listeners = server.listeners('request').slice(0);

Here is my code:
var io = require('socket.io');
var socket = io('ws://localhost:8080');
socket.on('connect', function () {
socket.send('hi');
socket.on('message', function (msg) {
// my msg
});
});
Please suggest something. where I am doing the mistake ?
The problem here is that you are trying to use socket.io package which is for configuring the server.
Instead you need to use socket.io-client package to be able to act as a client.

I have the following tiny program.js which tries to execute a binary file:
var childProcess = require('child_process');
var path2Binary = '/home/myuser/myproj/bins/mybin';
var par = '--file=' + '/home/myuser/myproj/files/myfile.txt';
var ret = childProcess.execFileSync(path2Binary, [par]);
if (!ret) throw 'Error invoking process!';
var cnt = ret.stdout;
if (!cnt) throw 'Error retrieving output!';
console.log(cnt);
The program tries to execute a binary file and passes it a parameter (a file). The output of this process will be then displayed.
I try to run this: node program.js, but get the following
var ret = childProcess.execFileSync(path2Binary, [par]);

I am running on CentOS, Node version is v0.10.36.
I tried running sudo yum install nodejs, but it tells me it is already installed so Node installation looks kinda good.
What's the problem?
On a side note...
If I replace childProcess.execFileSync with childProcess.spawn I get the same.
If I change the first line into the following:
var exec = require('child_process').execFileSync;
Then I get an undefined exception on exec.
Synchronous child processes aren't supported in node v0.10.36 - https://nodejs.org/docs/v0.10.36/api/child_process.html
Looks like it may have been introduced in 0.12.
If I try to create a bitpay client in node after npm install bitpay and feeding it my on bitpay.com generated api key.
var client = BitPay.createClient('apikey');

I also tried a couple of other ways non of them worked so my question how am I supposed to connect to this service?
If I use bitpay keygen to create a api.key file locally. How could I set this in my settings on bitpay.com to avoid {“error”: “Invalid token”}?
There's a realistic possibility this API token is invalid. The 1st error message displayed means the API token's length is way too short and therefore invalid. Please verify you entered the correct API keys and enter it as a string. Are you sure you didn't remove the first character of the token when copying and pasting? Are you sure you didn't pick the wrong token? Example:
var client = new BitPay('MY_192_BIT_HUGE_API_TOKEN'); //192 bit string
Best regards,
I am working through Brad Dayley's Node.js, MongoDB and Angularjs book and I'm stuck on one of his exercises (Listing 4.4). I have a simple script emitterListener.js that is as follows the script is designed to makes checks on an account.
var events = require('events');
function Account() {
this.balance = 0;
events.EventEmitter.call(this);
this.deposit = function(amount) {
this.balance += amount;
this.emit('balanceChanged');
};
this.withdraw = function(amount) {
this.balance -= amount;
this.emit('balanceChanged');
};
}
Account.prototype._proto_ = events.EventEmitter.prototype;
function displayBalance() {
console.log("Account balance: $%d", this.balance);
}
function checkOverdraw() {
if (this.balance < 0) {
console.log("Account Overdrawn!!!!!");
}
}
function checkGoal(acc, goal) {
if (acc.balance > goal) {
console.log("Goal Achieved!!!!!");
}
}
var account = new Account();
account.on("balanceChanged", displayBalance);
account.on("balanceChanged", checkOverdraw);
account.on("balanceChanged", function() {
checkGoal(this, 1000);
});
account.deposit(220);
account.deposit(320);
account.deposit(600);
account.withdraw(1200);
When I run this I get the error.
TypeError: Object #<Account> has no method 'on'

From my limited understanding after researching I think this means that the "on" module is not being loaded. I found a solution that suggested something similar to adding this to line 1
var events = require('events').on;
which then results in the error.

Following the logic from the first fix I tried implementing the same fix but with EventEmitter
var events = require('events').EventEmitter;
Hooray it looks like it worked.... or not......and now I get this error

I tried adding the below code thinking why not?
var events = require('events').prototype;
and it just brings me back to the same error from before

What am I doing wrong here? How should I go about debugging this and where should I look? Thanks in advance for helping a newbie out.
Cheers.
process.EventEmitter is deprecated, use require('events') instead.
Search through all your reference files (should be in multiple files) for:
var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter
An where ever it exists, change that line to this:
var EventEmitter = require('events')
I'll post it as an answer so this question won't get marked as unanswered.
You should change:
Account.prototype.__proto__ = events.EventEmitter.prototype;
to:
Account.prototype = Object.create(events.EventEmitter.prototype);
var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter
is deprecated in high version of node, use var EventEmitter = require('events') instead
This compilation error because of versions conflicts of npm and node. I had the same issue in my project. I resolved after install the same compatible versions of npm and node as on another machine.
Check:
nmp -v
and
node -v.
All the confusion with the actual example is the first line of code.
var events = require('events');
After Node v6.1.0 this line of code will store EventEmmiter object inside events variable, so there is no need to access it explicitly later.
Solution is very simple, just change
events.EventEmitter.call(this);
to:
events.call(this)
And change
Account.prototype._proto_ = events.EventEmitter.prototype;
to:
Account.prototype._proto_ = events.prototype;
I had the same problem a few minutes ago, I decided to downgrade node to version 6.x, then it worked
I am new to nodejs. Started learning with this simple program .
var http=require("http");
var host="127.0.0.1";
var port=10016;
var server=http.createServer(function(request, responce) {
console.log("Request recieved : " + request.url);
responce.writeHead(200, {"Content-type":"text/plain"});
responce.write("Hello World.! This is the start of my journey in nodejs");
responce.end();
});
server.listen(host, port, function() {
console.log("Listening "+ host +":" + port)});
When I run the program using "node server.js " I encounter this error which , although I surfed, I could not find any relevant explanations apart from using different ports. I tried as many as any . I am a windows user. Mac users might have sudo with root permissions, but the problem isnt the same. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Help appreciated.!
Just swap the server.listen arguments in your code - it should be written like this:
server.listen(port, host, function() {
console.log("Listening "+ host +":" + port)});
port is the first argument, because the second one is optional. Quoting the docs:
server.listen(port, [hostname], [backlog], [callback])
Begin accepting connections on the specified port and hostname. If the
hostname is omitted, the server will accept connections directed to
any IPv4 address (INADDR_ANY).

What is the problem? I found the source on the Internet, and the author, and the visitors also can run it...
Try require('net') instead:
$ node
> var tcp = require('tcp');
The 'tcp' module is now called 'net'. Otherwise it should have a similar interface.
> var tcp = require('net');
> $
Others are able to run, may be because they are using Node module when 'tcp' was there...
Now its called 'net', but its all the same thing no need of checking..
