loadPipeline Initialization about node-stanford-simple-nlp

Sorry to hear, @latkinso42.
Could you write your code here? Let me inspect the problem please.

So it seems this was a java CLASSPATH issue. There was a difference in the errors from the Async technique and the Sync technique, but this is most likely due to the loadPipeline requirement. Both are working now, for me.

My node app.js employs a typical routes.js for get and post. The callback for the post calls a handler which uses either the async or sync method as below. The post callback generally renders the output from the results of the parser and the params contain the text query:

var StanfordSimpleNLP = require('../../lib/StanfordSimpleNLP');

// ASYNC
exports.parsePhrase = function(params, callback) {
var ssnlp=new StanfordSimpleNLP( function(err) {
ssnlp.process(params.tquery, callback);
});
}

// SYNC
exports.parsePhrase = function(params, callback) {
var stanfordSimpleNLP = new StanfordSimpleNLP(null, callback);
stanfordSimpleNLP.loadPipelineSync();
stanfordSimpleNLP.process(params.tquery, function(err, result) {
callback(err, result);});
}

Every thing works either way!
Thanks!

Good job!
I know that the setting java & node-java is not easy in some environments.

I'm having a problem using the node wrapper.

When I use this:
var stanfordSimpleNLP = new StanfordSimpleNLP.StanfordSimpleNLP(function(err, callback) {
stanfordSimpleNLP.process('This is so good.', function(err, result) {
console.log(err, result);
if (err){
return err;
}
console.log(result);
});

I get the 'load a pipeline first' error.

When I use this:

var stanfordSimpleNLP = new StanfordSimpleNLP(function(err){
// same code as above

I get the object is not a function TypeError.

I'm trying to find a way to make this work but I can't quite understand where to go from here.

Same issue as @hypersundays. Extracting the slp zip into the jar folder solved it.
