ReferenceError: io is not defined

[Philippe Rathe]

I'm having a hard time adding Socket.IO as a submodule and using
require.

git submodule add https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO.git vendor/
Socket.IO --recursive *
git submodule update --init --recursive

*Note that on the README page of Socket.IO "git clone" was used
instead of "git submodule add". Cloning it was not adding it as a
submodule for me. The --recursive option on "git submodule add" didn't
fetch the submodules but the "git submodule update --init --recursive"
does.

Then I want to require it in my server:

var io = require('./vendor/Socket.IO/socket.io');

What would the require line be?

Try io = require('./vendor/Socket.IO/socket.io/lib/socket.io')

No, that path does not exists. I have the same structure in vendor/ as in the git project.

$ ls -1 Socket.IO/

Makefile

README.md

bin

lib

socket.io.js

$ ls -1 Socket.IO/lib/

data.js

io.js

socket.js

transport.js

transports

util.js

vendor

Do I have to include a single file or a directory?

Can you point me to the path to require in the Gihub repository?

Thanks

Sorry, I was pointing the the Socket.IO project instead of the Socket.IO-node project on my server.

Closed.
