Installing node.js for angular - connect.static and karma

Question

I'm trying to install a simple node webserver following the example in Pro AngularJS from apress.

I've installed node.js and the connect and karma modules.

I do get a warning when I installed karma via: "npm install -g karma" that says "optional dep failed, continuing" but then seems to install correctly.

I created a server.js based on the example:

var connect = require('connect');

connect.createServer(
    connect.static("../angularjs")
).listen(5000);

when I run it I get TypeError:Undefined is not a function pointing to connect.static.

Answer 1

Apparently in the latest build of connect the static middleware has been moved to it's own package.

nodejs connect cannot find static
