same code working on MAC but not windows

[feranf]

Hi,
I'm running the following code in MAC - works OK.
When running it on windows 7 - the following error occurs..

function color() {
  this.add( 'color:red', function(args,done){
    done(null, {hex:'#FF0000'});
  })
}


var seneca = require('seneca')


seneca()
  .use(color)
  .listen({type:'tcp'})

seneca()
  .client({type:'tcp'})
  .act('color:red')

// node readme-color-tcp.js --seneca.log=plugin:transport,level:INFO --seneca.log=type:act,regex:color:red

• same for http transport
• firewall was disabled...

The Error:
2015-10-15T09:14:46.808Z s3fx6o3a4jgi/1444900486776/7384/- DEBUG act remote$ IN m9bqsfq0d1ms/mj7vu98io1jj

Thanks,

@feranf , are you using the latest version (0.7.1) of seneca ?

[feranf]

@maxired yes

[maxired]

@feranf, using node 4.2.1 and seneca 0.7.1, it works for me on windows 8.1
I had similar issue before I unblock node.js from windows firewall, so you might want to check your firewall again.

Moreover, except if you found this code on seneca.org website, you probably want to post this kind of issue on https://github.com/rjrodger/seneca

[mcdonnelldean]

@feranf If you double check your firewall (and do a restart) and it's still not working, could you follow this link to post a new issue on the http / tcp transport modules issues page:

https://github.com/rjrodger/seneca-transport/issues/new

We don't have a huge amount of Windows users on different versions so if it turns out we have a problem I'd like to look at getting it resolved for you :D

@maxired Do you have Windows 10 by any chance?

[maxired]

@mcdonnelldean , I am gonna do the upgrade right now from windows 8.1
I am more a linux guy, but keep a Windows for this kind of issue ;)

[mcdonnelldean]

@maxired Awesome, if so will you give this a quick whirl and see if it works there? I need to get my VM's in order :D

[feranf]

@mcdonnelldean @maxired
Regarding the firewall, I'm using Symantec firewall, but I disabled it completely so I'm pretty sure its not it.
I'll search and try windows 10 to test on and will let you know.
(I'll submit also an issue also in https://github.com/rjrodger/seneca and https://github.com/rjrodger/seneca-transport/issues/new)

[feranf]

@mcdonnelldean @maxired Just wanted to clarify that it happened using both http and tcp transports...
Any way, thanks a lot for your efforts 👍

I'm seeing this issue on win10. and I allowed it through my firewall. I'm investigating :)

[GlenTiki]

So far, I have disabled the firewall, and I'm still seeing the issue. Diving deeper.

[GlenTiki]

Oh, and node v4.2.0 and seneca v7.1, and windows 10.

[mcdonnelldean]

@thekemkid Awesome work, can I leave this with you? @feranf No need to open the other issue, lets keep it all here at this point :D

[GlenTiki]

I'll probably need some support when I get deeper into the internals, I'll talk through what I'm seeing on the gitter for this org?

[GlenTiki]

Actually, scratch that, will talk in main seneca room! :)

[mcdonnelldean]

Perfect

@thekemkid Thanks, waiting for good news...
@mcdonnelldean @maxired thanks again, I'll cancel the other issue

[mcdonnelldean]

@feranf Awesome :D Cheers

[GlenTiki]

Okay, this is working code:

function color() {
  this.add( 'color:red', function(args,done){
    done(null, {hex:'#FF0000'});
  })
}


var seneca = require('seneca');

seneca()
  .use(color)
  .listen({type:'tcp'}) //become a server

seneca()
  .client({type:'tcp', host:"localhost"}) //become a client
  .act('color:red', console.log)

[maxired]

@thekemkid , well done.

To clarify, I spoke too quickly and the code was indeed not working on windows 8 without the workaround provided by @thekemkid

[GlenTiki]

No problem, I'll self assign this and send a pr to update the documentation

[feranf]

@thekemkid Great news, Its working now! Thanks a lot for the quick response 👍

[mcdonnelldean]

@thekemkid Awesome stuff

@feranf Any other issues, please let us know.

[feranf]

@mcdonnelldean Thanks, appreciate this.
