Electron (Atom-shell) compatibility break about robotjs

[hugohil]

I just tried using nvm and with 0.10.39, as well as with 0.10.31, I get a different error:
Error: Module did not self-register.

It's because electron does not use standard node. Check out how you can rebuild the modules http://electron.atom.io/docs/v0.28.0/tutorial/using-native-node-modules/

I am having a similar problem with robotjs. It is working perfectly when I run it with electron app_dir, but when I package it and run as an app, robotjs just does not execute commands anymore. No errors, nothing. Where should I debug?

@hugohil any luck figuring it out? :)

Hey sorry guys! I've been busy with work, and focusing on the RobotJS Windows build. I'm an nw.js guy also, so unfortunately I may not get to this for a while.

So I did some work on ScreenCat and RobotJS worked fine! I used the apm install method.

@hugohil what command are you using to build/install?

[hugohil]

I'm really sorry I didn't reply, I was busy at the time and this got out of my mind after :/

I just tested and thanks to your fix, it now works perfectly ! 👍
Also, thank @Nedomas for your suggestions about rebuilding modules.

I'll soon test the packaging issue and close the issue if it worked :)

Awesome! Sounds good!

I've got this error on ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

../node_modules/nan/nan.h:779:12: error: ‘Use’ is not a member of ‘node::Buffer’
     return node::Buffer::Use(v8::Isolate::GetCurrent(), data, size);

Anyone encountered something similar? (Ubuntu 14.04, node v0.10.37)

I'm going to close this, if anyone still needs help please open a new issue!
