Brackets unable to connect to Node.js #7060

Open gbade opened 10 years ago

gbade commented 10 years ago

I recently started using brackets and just this morning, on starting the IDE, I keep getting a

"failed to connect to node.js, extension requires node.js installed" also - "[brackets-git] ExpectedError: max connection attempts reached" But I have node.js installed already. Even ran node--version in command and got the current version I'm using - v0.10.15. I also uninstalled Brackets and re-installed, but i'm still gettin the same error.

PS - I am at work and my internet access is through a HTTP proxy. despite that, throughout last week, it did work. Don't know what's the matter now. Please how do i rectify this?

@gbade Are you running your own local build that you cloned from git, or did you install a Sprint build from download.brackets.io? If it's the latter, which Sprint did you install?

Also, what OS are you running?

Medium priority to @bchintx to determine if this is the problem we're seeing with XP users.

@dangoor The behavior reported by this issue is different than the Sprint 36 issues with XP, reported as Issue #6951. With that problem, the Developer Tools console will show the error message "Failed to watch root: timeout".

@gbade Are you still experiencing this problem? If so, can you please reply to the questions in my previous comment? That would help us narrow down the problem. Thanks in advance.

@bchintx i'm running on a local build. I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit. I found a way of making node.js connect with brackets.io. I resolved it by checking "bypass proxy server for local address" in internet options. But i noticed i couldn't update my extensions or search for new extensions.

@gbade Generally, people who have problems installing extensions are able to view the extension list but not install any new extensions. If you're running a local build, try setting the new proxy preference and see if that helps.

@gbade did @dangoor's suggestion help at all?
