Donejs develop server crashing in place-my-order app

I am working through the place-my-order guide.
When I start the donejs develop server, I get the following error: (although it does run) (took out all http protocols in order to publish this post)

place-my-order@0.0.0 develop /home/dovid/mm_workspace/DoneJS Examples/place-my-order

Then after I added the supermodel and refreshed, it crashes the server and I get the following:

This looks like a NodeJS watch error, potentially a permission issue. What operating system are you using (it looks like Linux)? The second error is probably because the old server is still running even though it crashed.

I am using ubuntu 14.04.

should I run the server under sudo?

just tried running under sudo, and I did NOT get the first error. I did still get the second error when I reloaded the page and it crashed.

You might have a Node process that didn’t exit cleanly when you got the original error. Do:

ps aux | grep node

And kill the processes that shouldn’t be live.

I killed the processes and tried again.

Without sudo, got the watch error. With sudo, no watch error but I did get the 2nd error.

Do you have the API running? It’s a separate npm script.

ah, no. it wasn’t. But when I tried it said, “not found.” And when I tried to reinstall it, I got a whole long list of errors. So basically the install didn’t work. Here is the beginning of the errors I got:

Ok, couple of things. If you are using the guide you are likely using donejs 0.5 which does not support Node 4/5. See http://donejs.com/SettingUp.html for the version requirements. donejs 0.6.0 will come out this week with support for Node 4/5, you can try out the pre-release by running npm install donejs@0.6.0-pre.1.

After your bufferutil errors, these errors don’t mean that the install failed. They are for an optionalDependency that is not actually required. We are working to get rid of the modules which cause these errors as I know it is confusing to see errors, naturally you would think that it failed.

So either try with 0.6.0-pre.1 or install Node 0.12 and let us know.

ok, thanks. I’ll try that.

well I tried installing 0.6.0-pre.1 and I got a bunch of seeming errors, but I could run donejs api. However it started spewing out node processes until it nearly crashed my computer.

So, I tried removing donejs, nodejs, api and starting over with nodejs 0.12 like in your SettingUp guide.

When I tried to install the api, again I got a bunch of errors. And again when I started up donejs api, it just kept creating new node processes until I killed it.

Here are the npm errors when trying to install api

it seems to still be trying to use node 5, and when I node -v it says 5.2.0 (nodejs -v is 0.12) but when I try sudo apt-get remove node, it says it isn’t installed. So I am now somewhat confused.

ok, I finally got 5.2 removed and am trying to install api with 0.12, and so far it’s in the process so hoping for the best.

after removing everything and starting over it seems to be working.

thanks for your help.

I’m working on Node 5 and the PMO app for the rest of this week.
