TypeError: mime.lookup is not a function

weinre --httpPort 8088

2018-03-08T09:38:31.706Z weinre: starting server at http://localhost:8088

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/weinre/node_modules/._connect@1.9.2@connect/lib/middleware/static.js:143

    type = mime.lookup(path);

TypeError: mime.lookup is not a function

After I started the weinre, when access http://localhost:8088 from broswer, it errors.

* `lookup()` renamed to `getType()`

in the readme of mime

## Version 2 Notes

Version 2 is a breaking change from 1.x as the semver implies.  Specifically:

* `lookup()` renamed to `getType()`

* `extension()` renamed to `getExtension()`

* `charset()` and `load()` methods have been removed

I have solved this problem by myself!

step 1 

change file : node_modules/._connect@1.9.2@connect/lib/middleware/static.js:143

from 

var charset = mime.lookup(type);

to 

var charset = mime.getType(type);

step 2

change file: node_modules/._connect@1.9.2@connect/lib/middleware/static.js:167

from 

 var charset = mime.charsets.lookup(type);

to 

 var charset = mime.getType(type);

How did you install weinre?  I don't get a directory tree that includes `node_modules/._connect@1.9.2@connect/lib/middleware/static.j`.  When I run `npm install -g weinre`, I get `/usr/local/lib/node_modules/weinre/node_modules/express/node_modules/connect/lib/middleware/static.js`

这个太坑了，API变化之后依赖居然不能用了，WTF！！

居然还要自己去改源码才能取让它正常工作。bullshit！！

But, thank you for your advice. @Qu

Awesome fix. BTW, for me the file in question was located in weinre\node_modules\connect\lib\middleware\static.js

To get to work I did the following:

cd c:\apps (where I store my apps)

mkdir weinre

cd weinre

npm i weinre

edit weinre\node_modules\connect\lib\middleware\static.js and make changes as directed.

cls && node C:\apps\weinre\node_modules\weinre\weinre --boundHost my-ip-address --httpPort 443 < Nul (note: I run this on 443 due to firewall restrictions)

Insert the following into the top of your index.html (changing my-ip-address to your local web server ip address)

<!-- Required for weinre debugging. -->

<script src="http://my-ip-address:443/target/target-script-min.js#anonymous"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

// Get over issue where some styles are not being displayed when debugging with weinre.

// https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6161

function whackWebkitMatchesSelector() {

var oldMatches = Element.prototype.webkitMatchesSelector;

function newMatches(selector) {

try {

return oldMatches.call(this, selector);

}

catch (err) {

return false;

}

}

Element.prototype.webkitMatchesSelector = newMatches;

}

whackWebkitMatchesSelector();

</script>

Load your app and then visit http://my-ip-address:443

BTW, the last issue I was able to solve with this was finding out that my old S3 running Android 4.4.3 didn't have a String.startsWith method implemented. Needed to polyfill (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/startsWith for further details). This is required for ReactJs to work properly.
