error running node AGS about agstoshapefile

[tannerjt]

For now, you can try this workaround. In node_modules/objectstream/lib/objectstream.js, replace:

var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter

with

var EventEmitter = require('events');

Let me know if that works. If so, I'll submit a pull request to the objectstream library

That worked! Thanks tannerjt!

My npm version is 4.1.2
node version 7.7.4.0 (32bit)
Windows 10

Not sure the exact issue, looks like it doesn't like the objectstream module. Maybe try npm install again? Maybe npm update for an outdated module?

I got the same error, along with some others during the npm install:

C:\apps\AGStoShapefile-master>npm install

[tannerjt]

Can you specify which version of Node you are running? In your terminal or command prompt, type node -v

[tannerjt]

It looks like the problem is coming from objectstream

var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter;
util.inherits(ObjectDeserializeStream, EventEmitter);

My guess is that process.EventEmitter is null. Can you try running node in command line and typing process.EventEmitter and see what is returned?

[tannerjt]

That's great, I'll let the maintainer of the objectstream library know
