[CarstenKochems]

Hello i get the following after installing manually:

root@raspberrypi /var/www/Adafruit-WebIDE # node server.js

module.js:356
Module._extensions[extension](this, filename);
^

any idea?

Try:

npm install pty.js

I'm not quite sure why that failed in the first place though. tty.js depends on pty.js. There should be this path:

node_modules/tty.js/node_modules/pty.js

[jwcooper]

Closing this...let me know if you need more help. Thanks!

I got the same problem and the path node_modules/tty.js/node_modules/pty.js exists as well as node_modules/pty.js after installing pty.js trough npm

module.js:356
Module._extensions[extension](this, filename);

I am seeing same issue even after running npm install pty.js

module.js:356
Module._extensions[extension](this, filename);

I added this line of code from this merge request to the pty.cc file and rebuilt it and now it works.

chjj/pty.js#26

clehner/pty.js@2952bcd

NODE_MODULE(pty, init);

[jwcooper]

Thank you for discovering this fix. I've updated my tty.js branch for the pty.js changes. Next release will have this included.

Also, what version of node.js are you using?

[jimzim]

we are using 0.10.1 on Arch Linux.

Also got this error after fixing the above issue. Might be worth creating a new github issue since it is not related i don't think.

[jwcooper]

Does the WebIDE work at all under Arch? I've actually never tested with Arch.

Also, does that error prevent the WebIDE from functioning, or is it just thrown as you're using it?

It appears to be related to the following: winstonjs/winston#218

You can try fixing it by commenting out line 49 in the server.js file:

//winston.handleExceptions(new winston.transports.File({ filename: __dirname + '/logs/errors.log', json: false }));

Just started getting into Pi, so never seen anything but Arch Linux and never knew about the IDE until last night, so no. I was told that Arch was more stable, but I am going to try all of the distros and see which one I like the best. :)
