EventEmitter codepath crashes node.js

[Ivshti]

When running webchimera.js in node.js, we get:

    v8::Isolate* isolate = v8::Isolate::GetCurrent();
    _jsEventEmitter.Reset( isolate,
        v8::Local<v8::Function>::Cast(
            Require( "events" )->Get(
                v8::String::NewFromUtf8( isolate,
                                         "EventEmitter",
                                         v8::String::kInternalizedString ) ) )->NewInstance() );

 0   node                              0x000000010011e258 v8::Object::Get(v8::Handle<v8::Value>) + 20
1   WebChimera.js.node                0x000000010328f628 JsVlcPlayer::JsVlcPlayer(v8::Local<v8::Object>&, v8::Local<v8::Array> const&) + 728
2   WebChimera.js.node                0x000000010328f094 JsVlcPlayer::jsCreate(v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value> const&) + 244
3   node                              0x0000000100133a23

The fault should be in how Require is implemented here

Thanks! I'll check.

[RSATom]

Can you give me some .js for node.js to test?

[Ivshti]

Simply

var WebChimera = require("webchimera.js");
var player = WebChimera.createPlayer([ "-vvv" ]);
player.onFrameSetup = function(width, height, pixelFormat) { 
  console.log("frame setup",width,height) 
};
player.onFrameReady = function(frame) { typeof(display)=="function" && display() };
player.play("file:///Users/ivogeorgiev/Downloads/1.mkv"); // update that
global.player = player;

Node.js 0.12.2

[RSATom]

Thanks!

[Ivshti]

Did you reproduce it? I can't figure why this is happening.

[RSATom]

trying...

[RSATom]

by some reason Require("events") returns null on node.js/io.js

[RSATom]

will try investigate it deeply tomorrow.

[RSATom]

It seems the problem is on node.js require defined not as function of global.

• nw.js: console.log(global.require) gives

function require(path) {
    return self.require(path);
}

• node.js: console.log(global.require) gives

undefined

so to solve this issue I need understand where I can find require on Node.js

[Ivshti]

That makes sense. Can't we just get require from the current context?

[RSATom]

In c++ I need some object to get it's function, with nwjs I use global, and don't know what to use with node.js

[Ivshti]

Use module.

module.require

Module is like the global context in node.js

[RSATom]

thanks, I'll try

[Ivshti]

Amazing, thanks!
