Hi Astro
With node 0.8, node-waf is in a transition to be replaced by node-gyp(https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp ), a more platform independent tool for your native code that requires wscript. Do you have a plan adapting this in near future?

I'm getting the followinf error while installing:

It's kinda silly. But I am new to libexpat and find it lacks code examples from a bit of Googling, it would be very nice if you could include a code segment on how to create and parse XML elements. :)

I tried npm -install node-expat and I got the following errors:

any idea?

It would be nice if there was an event emitted for the DOCTYPE that provided the name, public id and system id.

Hey,

How compatible is node-expat with node v0.5.3?

I get Error: /home/luke/c/javascript/node-expat/build/default/node-expat.node: undefined symbol: _ZN4node12EventEmitter20constructor_templateE when trying to node test.js, so I'm assuming there is a massive dragon that I need to slay in order to get my chat bot to work?

Thanks,
Luke

Hello,
I dont know if its a bug but if i stop the Parser during the "startElement-event",
the "endElement-event" will still fire, if its a selfclosing-element!

When installing node-expat, it doesn't check for the existence of the underlying C library (libexpat1-dev on Debian/Ubuntu).

When node-expat emits the element start/end, etc... events is it possible to have a member variable/function that shows how many bytes of the input have been parsed till now?

So suppose I have the following XML:

then I should be able to query .bytesParsed to determine the total number of bytes parsed on every element start/end event.

When I try to install node-expat on my machine, I keep getting a WindowsSDKDir error. I do have the Windows 7 SDK installed, as well as Python (Python variable is set and working since it previously gave me Python problems lol). I'm not sure what the problem is. It could be a node-gyp issue, but it only happens when I install node-expat. I can install (or re-install, perhaps) node-gyp without any issue.

Going by what I can understand from the output log, it seems to be that it can't find the WindowsSDKDir variable in the registry. However, I can find it in RegEdit. I've even tried changing the variable to the Windows 7 SDK directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\v7.1\ or something) instead of what it originally was (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\v7.0A). Could the problem be that I have VS2012 not VS2010 installed?

Thanks in advance for any help!

In trying to update node-expat on OSX after updating node to 0.8 + npm 1.1.32, but I run into several issues. The node-expat installer can't find my node path, and it can't find the expat.h. I have the expat.h header in several locations /usr/local/include and /opt/local/include. Before updating node the node-expat install was ok. What else can I try to solve this? I've tried several versions of node-expat up to 0.6

I recently installed node and npm on my server and have been attempting to install your xml-stream lib (which looks great!)

However, following:

curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
npm update
npm install xml-stream

I get the error:

Waf: Leaving directory `/home/node_modules/xml-stream/node_modules/node-expat/build'
Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1):
        {task: cxx node-expat.cc -> node-expat_1.o}
npm ERR! error installing [email protected]

So I try node-expat on it's own to see if I can get some more info

npm install node-expat

So it reports that it works.. but actually it doesn't.

Xml-stream still does not install and I now have a new home directory for Stephan! ;-)

I'm pretty sure this isn't how it should happen. What am I missing?

Thanks,

installing the latest node-expat works w/o problems :o

sudo npm -g install [email protected]

doesn't work but

sudo npm -g install [email protected]

works fine

Per the subject, I'm having trouble. Here's the thread from the npm user's group:

http://groups.google.com/group/npm-/browse_thread/thread/f56240d86276fcb1

I have a package that depends on 1.6.1, and am getting some complaints that may be fixed by upgrading to 2.0.0. Is there a changelog for changes between the 1.x and 2.0 versions so I can see if anything looks like it will break?

How do I get node-expat to parse   and the like?

Thanks

node-expat segfaults like crazy with node 0.4. Please update, and thanks for your hard work

npm WARN [email protected] dependencies field should be hash of : pairs
npm WARN [email protected] devDependencies field should be hash of : pairs

using node 0.6.14, I try to install node-expat and get the following. I honestly have no idea what to do to resolve this, other than try to upgrade node... but on my system this would mean upgrading Python and everything that depends on it, so I decided to ask the experts if maybe I'm overlooking something simple.

Great work on the library. It's blazing fast and I can't wait to use it.

The library leaks memory when you use it over an extended period. See the gist below to reproduce the error. There's a piece of our app that has to parse thousands of these files, so it's important that it work without leaking.

http://gist.github.com/478506

Hello, I'm trying to use your parser with malformed html pages.

I've discoverred that when there are unwanted closing tags the parser will fail. Also when there are collapsed attributes declarations, it will fail. See both html examples :

<html>
    <head>
        <title>There's a title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            I'm the dark htmlord
        </div>
        </div> <!-- this will fail and stop the parser -->
    </body>
</html>

Or this code :

<html>
    <head>
        <title>There's a title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div attr1="test"attr2="hello"> <!-- no space between attributes declaration -->
            I'm the dark htmlord
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Will your parser be ever able to parse some malformed html or is it designed to only accept valid xml/html ?

Thank you

Most 'npm install node-expat' failures are due to missing expat and libexpat1-dev on linux distros. It often takes a while for newbies to trace the error to the dependencies. It would be nice to add some precondition check to point to missing dependencies.

Thanks

Using node v0.6.7 .. also tried installing with npm.. same result.

I tried to solve my problem by looking at similar issues... but I can't find a solution to this problem. Any thoughts? I was trying install node-xmpp-bosh but was told that node-expat fails.

I was installing node-expat via another package so I was just doing npm install. I was confused by the error OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/node_modules/node-expat' because I was logged in as root. But I tried sudo npm install and it worked.

Some sort of compilation error while compiling node-expat on FreeBSD - about the header expat.h not being found even though it exists.

I'll fill in more details when I know them.

I have removed / reinstalled libexpat1-dev. Another dev has Ubuntu 10 32 bit and installed without issue.

Sorry, there seem to be several similar issues, but none exactly the same. Trying to install on OS X 10.6.

The crucial line seems to be:

Exception: deps/libexpat/libexpat.gyp not found (cwd: /private/var/www/proj/node_modules/soap/node_modules/node-expat) while loading dependencies...

Is there anyway to get onStartCdata/onEndCdata implemented in near feature? I'm not familiar with C++ at all, otherwise I would do it myself, and yet I may still try! :)

Or is there any work around I missed? Seems like there's no way currently to tell is it CData or no at all.

The reason I ask is that I have plenty of code written for libxmljs which is using onCdata event a lot.

please help...

I have tried to install xml2js-expat and got errors on node-expat , thus I can't install.

Please see the errors here: Poetro/node-xml2js-expat#3

Somehow, I think it fails in : sh "-c" "node-waf configure build"

Do you have any idea how to solve that problem? thanks.

With v1.6.1, expat should adapt Windows platform easier than before. However, while trying to install node-expat on Windows, I have encountered error:

node 0.1.102 (nvm) + npm

it seems npm generates an incorrect main.js file for node-expat (this maybe because this module is compiled), the problem is in the line 5 (/lib/node/.npm/node-expat/1.0.0/main.js)

module.exports = require("./package/build/default/")

it should be:
module.exports = require("./package/build/default/expat")

I reported it to isaacs ( http://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/issue/148 ) and he thinks it's a problem in this package:

Bug in expat's package.json. It should read "main":"./build/default/expat"

After I upgraded to node 0.8.12, I ran 'npm update.' I get this error and I have no idea how to fix it.

https://gist.github.com/3881900

I'm currently developing on a Windows 8 64-bit computer. I'm actually using node-xmpp to create a chat client, and running npm install node-xmpp works. I created a file called index.js that simply has:

var xmpp = require('node-xmpp');
console.log(xmpp);

Then I run node index.js and it dumps the object as expected. However; the plan is to deliver this as desktop software utilizing the node-webkit library. That library uses the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF), which is limited to using node on a 32-bit architecture. So, I downloaded the 32-bit version of node, put it in my path, and renamed it to node32.exe. When I run node32 index.js, I get the following error:

module.js:485
  process.dlopen(filename, module.exports);
          ^

Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)

I figured this was probably because my npm installation picked up the x64 architecture and compiled accordingly. So, I nuked the node_modules directory and started from scratch. This time, I made copies of npm and npm.cmd as npm32 and npm32.cmd, where I substituted node32.exe for node.exe. When I attempt to install this way, I get the following:

So, it builds with errors, but it builds. When I attempt to run node index.js, it succeeds. When I run node32 index.js, it throws the same error. So, clearly I'm missing something in building the node-expat module. Is the architecture something handled in node-expat, or is this more of a node-gyp issue?

Any thoughts on the matter are appreciated.

It would be great if reset()ting the parser could be supported. libexpat has support for this as the function:

XML_ParserReset(XML_Parser parser, const XML_Char *encoding);

Needed since we want to avoid re-instantiating a new parser instance for every invalid stanza. xmppo/node-xmpp-bosh@390854b#commitcomment-1185687
