Synth was broken when I create a new project or auto restarting server

[PeachScript]

The Synth running well some day ago, but it has some problem after I update the node.

When I start a server by synth server -p 5004 and modify a watching file and refresh the browser, synth give me the following exception:

A file was changed, restarting server
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/synth/lib/commands.js:30
    } else throw err;
                 ^

I try to reinstall the nodeJS and the synth, but got seem error. Then I doubt the problem be cause by me, so I decided create a new project and init it to detect the problem, but I found another problem.

I got three broken JSON file after create the new project:

synth.json:

function (obj) {
obj || (obj = {});
var __t, __p = '';
with (obj) {
__p += '{\n  "name": "' +
((__t = ( appName )) == null ? '' : __t) +
'",\n  "version": "0.0.1"\n}\n';

}
return __p
}

package.json:

function (obj) {
obj || (obj = {});
var __t, __p = '';
with (obj) {
__p += '{\n  "name": "' +
((__t = ( appName )) == null ? '' : __t) +
'",\n  "version": "0.0.1",\n  "dependencies": {\n    "synth": "^' +
((__t = ( synthVersion )) == null ? '' : __t) +
'",\n    "promised-mongo": "^0.11",\n    "bluebird": "^1.0.3",\n    "body-parser": "^1.6.3",\n    "lodash": "^2.4.0"\n  },\n  "devDependencies": {\n  }\n}\n';

}
return __p
}

bower.json:

function (obj) {
obj || (obj = {});
var __t, __p = '';
with (obj) {
__p += '{\n  "name": "' +
((__t = ( appName )) == null ? '' : __t) +
'",\n  "private": true,\n  "dependencies": {\n    "angular": "1.x",\n    "angular-route": "1.x"\n  }\n}\n';

}
return __p
}

How can I fix the problem? Thank you very much! :D

I found the cause of the second problem, and I create a new pull request in https://github.com/JonAbrams/synth/pull/83

[JonAbrams]

Which version of Node did you upgrade to?

[PeachScript]

Node: v 0.12.0 NPM: v 2.5.1 node-gyp: v 1.0.2

[JonAbrams]

I guess fixes are needed to make it work with Node 0.12 :-|

Thanks for the report!

You're welcome, thanks for you create the Synth :D.

Maybe I need reinstall the Node 0.11 or you will fix it quickly?

[JonAbrams]

It’ll probably take a while to fix, you’re best off rolling back Node versions, sorry :(
