error on nodejs 0.6.0 "FATAL ERROR: v8::HandleScope::Close() Local scope has already been closed"

[komnet]

var redis = require('redis');
var client = redis.createClient();/error this line/

after declared client variable, it's error "FATAL ERROR: v8::HandleScope::Close() Local scope has already been closed"

thank you.

This sounds like an issue with the hiredis module after a node upgrade. Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling hiredis to see if that fixes the issue?

[diversario]

Same exact issue here. Uninstalling hiredis fixes the issue. Reinstalling hiredis doesn't help.

I saw this error only when trying to do hiredis.Reader() instead of new hiredis.Reader(). I see node_redis uses the latter form, so it should be OK. Could it be related anyway?

[mranney]

On what OS and node version is this failing?

[diversario]

For me - Ubuntun 11.10 x64, node 0.6.1.

[pietern]

Which version of hiredis are you using? I did a test with hiredis-node (both from npm and git) on 11.10 with node 0.6.1 and it compiles and runs just fine. The latest version of hiredis-node is0.1.13. Another possibility is that node-waf is falling back on an older version of node. Do you have multiple node versions installed on this system?

[diversario]

hiredis 0.1.13.
I had node 0.4.12 installed into ~/local/node, then installed node 0.6.1 into ~/local/node061 (installed separately because I thought that new node screwed my app). node-waf on the path says waf 1.5.16 (7610:7647M). Node 0.6.1 binary is linked to /usr/local/bin/node and is the default node (which node points to it).

[pietern]

Are both node and node-waf in your PATH pointing to the same version of node?

[diversario]

I relinked node-waf from 0.6.1 to /usr/local/bin, installed hiredis and didn't get the error. I assume node-waf was from the old node, but it still reports version 1.5.16. Weird.

Anyway, thanks for pointing that out, looks like hiredis works now with my 0.6.1 installation.

[pietern]

The version of node-waf may remain unchanged between node versions. It is a separate tool that is configured to set up the environment when building extensions. The old version likely points to old node headers.

[komnet]

when i am reinstall hiredis and that fixes, thank you very much.

[mranney]

I hope node gets better about detecting this multiple version thing in the future.

I get the same error. But I don't have hiredis installed.

I have the following modules. "connect", "db-mysql", "express", "now", "request" ..... installed through npm..

Reinstalled node .=> from v0.4.x to 0.6.6

It worked properly once, and after a system reboot, I get this error.
