Error: require.paths is removed.

[jrwats]

When running most of the JS files in doctorjs, they yield the following error. 'make serve' for instance:
Error: require.paths is removed. Use node_modules folders, or the NODE_PATH environment variable instead.

I have the same issue

Executed command: "'/usr/local/bin/jsctags' -f - '/home/bob/www/ss/s.js'"
Command output:

I know it sound silly but: have you set the NODE_PATH variable?

[g1ra]

yes i have this in profile

mesg n

export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/jsctags/:$NODE_PATH

[rocksolidwebdesign]

this is also a problem for me as well

it appears that this script is not compatible with node.js 0.6.x

any word on progress with this?

This issue make doctorjs completely unusable.

It seems node.js removed support for require.paths, as explained in the error method. I was able to solve this by removing the offending "require.paths" line. Then my NODE_PATH (and the path set for 'make serve' in Makefile) should be set to $PREFIX/lib/jsctags/, so the program can find paperboy and the other jstag libs.

I should create a proper pull request but, I dont have access to git from work.

File : serve.js ~line: 39

-require.paths.unshift('./lib/jsctags');
var http = require('http'), paperboy = require('paperboy');

I still get this error, after fixing my environment NODE_PATH and running from my command line:

/home/scottj/Downloads/doctorjs/serve.js:51
resp.close();
