Error: Use CoffeeScript.register() or require the coffee-script/register module to require .iced.md files

[ypapax]

my app.js is:

 require("iced-coffee-script");
 require("./serverOneNode.iced");

when I run it:

 node app.js

got error:

          throw new Error("Use CoffeeScript.register() or require the coffee-s
                ^

That began to happen after I updated iced-coffee-script to version 1.8.0-a and coffee-script to version 1.8.0.

This changed a while back with [email protected]. Check the main Coffee
page, and here's the explanation:

• When requiring CoffeeScript files in Node you must now explicitly
  register the compiler. This can be done with require
  'coffee-script/register' or CoffeeScript.register(). Also for
  configuration such as Mocha's, use coffee-script/register.

Thank you, @maxtaco. When I added line require('iced-coffee-script/register'); to file app.js before requiring serverOneNode.iced and so problem was solved.

Following instructions at http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/better-coffeescript-testing-with-mocha--net-24696 supplemented by various stackoverflow and other pages, I did all this:
npm install mocha
npm install chai
npm install -g coffee-script
npm install iced-coffee-script

coffee -v
Using CoffeeScript version 1.9.3

I have a test .coffee file containing
chai = require 'chai'
chai.should()
expect = chai.expect
require('coffee-script/register')
CoffeeScript.register()
...

When I run
mocha --require coffee-script/register --compilers coffee:coffee-script/register
I get
"CoffeeScript.register();
^
ReferenceError: CoffeeScript is not defined"

This is also true if I miss out ' --require coffee-script/register' in the mocha line above, or if I install iced-coffee and add "require('iced-coffee-script/register')" to my test .coffee file. What am I missing?

Got it.

CoffeeScript = require('coffee-script')
