Internal Contextify Error

[TheCodeBuccaneer]

I suddenly get the following error (suddenly, because I didn't do any updates on the version of node or something like that):

Internal Contextify ERROR: Make sure Contextify is built with your current version. To rebuild, go to the contextify root folder and run 'node-waf distclean && node-waf configure build'.

Error: untable to load ............\nodejs\node_modules\contextify\build\Release\contextify .node

The version of node is 0.6.7 and it is running on Windows. One of the latest thing I did was installing the jquery plug in, but I am not sure if that was the reason.

I tried the node-waf, but is says is node-waf not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Please let me know how I can fix this. Thanks in advance!

As you've found out, node-waf (the built-in way of compiling C++ addons for Node) isn't available on Windows. The jquery module depends on JSDOM, which uses Contextify, which is written in C++. Unfortunately, Contextify can't install via npm on Windows due to the lack of node-waf. I haven't tried running on Windows, but there are some instructions to get it working here: #12 .

Hi,

I get the same error on mac..

The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.
Internal Contextify ERROR: Make sure Contextify is built with your current Node version.
To rebuild, go to the Contextify root folder and run 'node-waf distclean && node-waf configure build'.

node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick

Kindly advise.

Is this an error occurring after the project has worked before, or has it never worked for you? Did you recently upgrade node? If so, which versions did you go between? Contextify needs to be rebuilt if you change node versions (go into the contextify folder and node-waf distclean && node-waf configure build. It's also possible there's a bug with the mac version (#19).
