Module fails to load #299
Description
When I try to import the library I get the error Cannot find module '../build/Debug/nodegit'.
I looked at the source and saw that it only tries to do this when loading the release version failed. I logged the error that is caused by loading the release version, and got Module did not self-register..
Do you know what this means and how I can fix it?

Are you trying to load this in node-webkit?
maxkorp commentedon Nov 26, 2014
It probably didn't build correctly. How did you grab the module, via NPM? if so, try cding into the directory and running an NPM install

@johnhaley81 yeah, are there known issues with that?
maxkorp commentedon Nov 26, 2014
Ha, yes (thats how we ended up involved in nodegit). You have to rebuild with nw-gyp, currently nodegit builds with node-gyp

oh yeah I think I remember having to use that to get another lib with a native extension to work before. Is there a way to do it automatically as part of the install process? My library which depends on nodegit is consumed by a regular Node CLI and node-webkit GUI, so I'd like to get a system which works for both.

We actually have an issue for that, I've found a few strategies for detecting node-webkit, but one needs to be implemented and used to have it gyp with the correct tool.

Ah okay well if there's a fix coming soon then I might just keep testing it with the CLI and integrate with the GUI once that works.
johnhaley81 commentedon Nov 26, 2014
Yeah we're working on a fix now since that's pretty big and important :)
Closing this since we already have an issue tracking this. If you want to discuss this further, feel free to over at #212.
