FAQ

What are the Native modules not compiled. warnings when I run grunt devtools?

The extension should still work even if you get these warnings. From the module install log:

Native code compile failed!!
Please note that this module DOES NOT REQUIRE the native components
and will still work without them, though not quite as efficiently.

On Windows, native extensions require Visual Studio and Python.
On Unix, native extensions require Python, make and a C++ compiler.
Start npm with --websocket:verbose to show compilation output (if any).

In addition, if you updated node.js (i.e. from 0.8 to 0.10 ), you need to fully reinstall the module, make sure Websocket-Node reinstalls and tries to compile native extensions.

See https://github.com/Worlize/WebSocket-Node for more details.

On Windows the extension just keeps refreshing. What is causing this?

Windows support is in the works and the OS is not supported yet.
