'npm install selenium-webdriver' failed with iojs 3.0.0

[Dzenly]

I created an issue here:
nodejs/node#2337

[lukeis]

can you please leave a better description here? like how to reproduce your issue (example steps of what you're doing to 'build')

[Dzenly]

Ok, I changed the subject to be crystal clear. Sorry for such garbage (I am beginner here).
In fact guys from iojs already understood the problem and made pull requests to according modules which selenium-webdriver depends on (they use old nan module). Though it is not iojs problem.

Iojs is not an officially supported platform. The selenium-webdriver npm module supports the last two stable releases for node: 0.10.x & 0.12.x. iojs is like node 0.11/0.13: if it works, great. If not - sorry.

That said, I'd be happy to review any PRs that address iojs issues. For now, I'm closing this because there's no action required by the Selenium project.

You'd be happy to review PR from iojs, but with sorry :) Okaay :)

I guess it is a weird position: "we'll accept your PR, but won't make promises about it working long term."

Let me try again:

As the sole maintainer of Selenium's client library for node, I don't consider iojs a supported platform. My time with Selenium is limited these days and it would not be prudent for me to extend support to a new platform. Community contributions to support iojs along with node are welcome and will not be rejected on the grounds of iojs being "unsupported". Unfortunately, until more members of the Selenium project start working on the JS client, official support will remain focused on node and regressions may crop up.

Having a single project member dedicated to one of the client language bindings is not ideal, but that's just how things have worked out. Members tend to focus on maintaining bindings for the languages they work in.

The TL;DR is still the same as before, but hopefully my position is easier to understand.

Understood. I didn't know that you are alone on this project. Great thank you for your work!

npm install fails with io.js 3.0.0 on OS X too. And, thank you jleyba for the great work.

Now it is absolutely selenium-webdriver problem. Due to using "ws": "^0.7.1" in package.json.
What if you will change it to "^0.8.0"?

Okaay :) Is new nodejs 4.0.0 "officially supported platform" ?
