I am new to Node.js and I am trying to run simple Node.js code.
I have Node.js windows binary.v0.5.8
Here is my js code.
var fs = require("fs");
fs.readFile('message.text', 'utf8', function (err,data) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
console.log(data);
});
fs.watchFile('message.text',function (curr, prev) {
console.log('the current mtime is: ' + curr.mtime);
console.log('the previous mtime was: ' + prev.mtime);
});
When I keep only the readFile
in the code it runs smoothly.
But gives following error on watchfile
.
C:\Users\GG\Labs\NodeJS>node.exe test.js
node.js:208
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
TypeError: undefined is not a function
at new StatWatcher (fs.js:596:18)
at Object.watchFile (fs.js:648:37)

at Function._load (mo开发者_StackOverflowdule.js:303:12)
at Array.<anonymous> (module.js:463:10)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:200:26)
Any idea?
I am pretty sure that watchFile
is not yet supported on windows:
