Question

I’m trying to work through the tutorial jobs for Node.io here. I have no trouble running the built-in modules:

echo "mastercard.com" | node.io -s pagerank

Or:

node.io query "http://www.reddit.com/" a.title

However, when I try my own module:

var nodeio= require('node.io');
exports.job = new nodeio.Job({
input: false,
run: function() {
    this.emit('Hello World');
}

});

And try to run it with:

node.io hello

I get this:

ERROR: Failed to load job "hello". Please check that the job exists and compiles correctly.

Debugging gives me this:

DEBUG: {"stack":"Error: Cannot find module 'node.io'\n    at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:322:11)\n    at Function._load (module.js:267:25)\n    at require (module.js:351:19)\n    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/username/Documents/Nodejs/hello.js:1:75)\n    at Module._compile (module.js:407:26)\n    at Object..js (module.js:413:10)\n    at Module.load (module.js:339:31)\n    at Function._load (module.js:298:12)\n    at require (module.js:351:19)\n    at [object Object].loadJob (/opt/local/lib/node_modules/node.io/lib/node.io/processor.js:294:37)","message":"Cannot find module 'node.io'"}

I’m sure I’m doing something stupid. Any thoughts?

Edit: responding to answer below

I’ve also tried this:

.npm/node.io/0.2.9-4/package/bin/io -s hello.js

And:

node_modules/node.io/bin/node.io -s hello.js

And get this result:

node.js:134
    throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
    ^

Answer 1

I was able to get it to run like so:

$ npm install node.io
$ node_modules/node.io/bin/node.io -s test.js
Hello World!

Where test.js is simply:

var nodeio = require('node.io');
exports.job = new nodeio.Job({
    input: false,
    run: function () {
        this.emit('Hello World!');
    }
});
