Application won't start

[marshallswain]

I get the following error upon running donejs start:

Bitovis-MacBook-Pro:bitballs Bitovi$ donejs start

> bitballs@0.3.1 start /Users/Bitovi/Sites/bitballs
> node index.js

Node app is running on port 5000

I'm running Node 5.8.0.

I've checked in the done-ssr-middleware and it's reading the package.json correctly, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Run donejs develop.

I still get the same error, and now an additional error for the live reload not working:

Just to rule out the possibility of me having made changes that I forgot about, I tried starting over from scratch, following the instructions in the README.md, but arrived back at the same issue.

@marshallswain what version of donejs?

[matthewp]

Is this master?

[matthewp]

Working for me on master with 5.3. I'll try with 5.8.

[marshallswain]

donejs --version = 0.7.2

I'm trying node 5.7, now.

[marshallswain]

5.7 worked for curtis

[matthewp]

All good for me with 5.8

[marshallswain]

My node environment is apparently broken. :(

[akagomez]

@marshallswain My node environment was giving me issues also, though the symptom was different: https://github.com/donejs/bitballs/issues/129

[marshallswain]

Thanks @akagomez. I did the same and it works, now. I was using n instead of nvm. I'm having a much better experience with nvm.
