node.js:201 process.nextTick error?

Question

node.js:201 process.nextTick error?

So I'm messing around with meteor, and out of no where I received this error? What is it asking me to change?

node.js:201
    throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
          ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input

Answer 1

You need to look through the code and see what it's doing in server.js around 109. It is probably working with a network connection that is being abruptly terminated. Are you doing anything like accessing your site with curl and CTRL-C-ing it while it's connected to your server? Because of the disconnected nature of vanilla node.js stack traces, we need to see the code to help you debug this.

Answer 2

This error comes up when you have a syntax error. Perhaps you are missing a closing brace in server.js?

Answer 3

Check that you don't have duplicate and possibly conflicting versions of modules in your global and local paths.

npm list

and

npm list -g

should not list duplicate and/or conflicting versions of modules. In my case I had ws installed locally and some of its dependencies were also on the global path.

My solution was to remove everything from my local path and just install everything globally.

I've came across this error when I tried to start my server running on ubuntu on a well-known port (0-1023)

If that's the case, just run it as superuser (sudo)

In case that's not possible for you, check out this alternative (http://serverfault.com/a/112798)
