npm update

[polikin]

I updated the package and now, it's not working anymore. Try to re-install, same error.

ws@0.4.31 install C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\browser-sync\node_modules\socket.io\node_modules\socket.io-client\node_modules\ws (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

'browser-sync' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Seems like the install failed - possibly due to an npm problem. Try again with -g

[polikin]

I did it with -g.

This may help until I look into this myself

socketio/socket.io#1126

[polikin]

The problem is here: npm install socket.io. Don't know why it doesn't work now. I did an update few weeks ago and everything was fine.

[HugoHeneault]

I have a similar issue a few weeks ago, it started because browser-sync was working while updating.
I had to delete the whole node_modules folder and run npm install again.

[shakyShane]

Yeah I'm looking into this - no idea why this is happening :(

[joeyhoer]

Same issue here. I had a prior version installed and it was working fine. After running a npm update -g and going through what essentially amounted to a reinstall of npm (because of discrepancies in Homebrew and NPM) browser-sync will no longer work.

I reverted back to the last version using:

npm uninstall -g browser-sync
npm install -g browser-sync@0.6.2

[shakyShane]

I still haven't managed to reproduce this yet as my Windows machine is running 8.1 - with no install problems.

If anyone would like to help us out here it'd be much appreciated.

[polikin]

The problem seems to be socket,io.

ws@0.4.31 install C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\browser-sync\node_modules\socket.io\node_modules\socket.io-client\node_modules\ws
(node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

[shakyShane]

Thanks - I may look at using a previous version of socket.io then - or another lib...

[shakyShane]

Can everyone in this thread confirm the following fails & which version of window you're running.

npm install socket.io

[joeyhoer]

I can confirm that I get the same error, and I believe it to be an issue with ws, a dependency of socket.io, not socket.io per se.

> ws@0.4.31 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/browser-sync/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws
> (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

I am on OSX 10.9.2/

[jmwohl]

Confirmed, same issue here. Also on OSX 10.9.2.

> ws@0.4.31 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws
> (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

[shakyShane]

Ok thanks everyone.

The next release will revert back to a pre 0.9.0 version of socket.io to solve this problem.

[polikin]

Works! Thanks!

[shinnn]

I've updated to the latest npm and node.

Not yet.

npm ERR! node v0.12.1
npm ERR! npm  v2.5.1

v2.5.1 is still older version. https://github.com/npm/npm/releases

[olafgleba]

Issue still exist:

> ws@0.5.0 install /xxx/node_modules/browser-sync/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/engine.io/node_modules/ws
> (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)

With using:

node v0.12.1
npm v2.7.3

OS X 10.10.1
