I’m building a WebSocket demo for a dotcloud deployment, but npm isn’t installing my required library. My package setup is shown below:
{
"name": "socketExample",
"version": "0.1.0",
"dependencies": {
"ws-handler": ""
}
}
When I run the push command for my application, an error appears indicating that the ws-handler library needs a newer Node version. What can I do to resolve this issue?
I recently encountered a similar issue during a deployment where npm was not installing a required WebSocket library. In my case, the problem was linked to the Node version being used by the hosting environment. I resolved it by explicitly specifying the Node engine in the package.json file, which ensured that the correct version was used for the deployment. Additionally, I updated my dependency entries to point to a specific working version of the library instead of leaving it blank. This approach helped me overcome version mismatches and deployment errors.
