Hi, I was using nws without any issues but now when I run nws it gives me this error:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

You probably still have the previous process running (or the remains of it). You could try changing the port number for this process.

Yes you are right, thank you. That would be handy to have a message like port already in use in the next version.

This is a common error with Node applications. I'll look into making it more user friendly when using nws.

knpwrs commented 9 years ago

Just published version 0.5.1 which features user-friendly error messages in the event of the port already being in use.

ImanMh commented 9 years ago

appreciate that. :thumbsup:

Port 3030 is already in use!
Please pick a different port (nws -p PORT) or kill the process using port 3030.
