RangeError: "port" argument must be >= 0 and < 65536 #36

I m trying to have Chalktalk load/start with in an app that I'am developing. I have added this to the background-process.js file like this

require('./chalktalk/server/main.js')

When the app starts Chalktalk throws the following error

App threw an error during load RangeError: "port" argument must be >= 0 and < 65536

Is there a way to start Chalktalk server using require ? Is it possible to start Chalktalk sever without it launching chrome ?

Thanks

To answer your second question: yes, if you look in the run.sh script, you'll see that it's just running node server/main.js (which actually runs the server) and then opening Chrome afterwards. There's nothing special about it.

To answer your first question: Chalktalk's server code isn't a library and as such isn't meant to be used with require. You'll have to find another way to start the server.
