Need helping sending notifications between module and module node_helper

[sdetweil]

@seann node_helper.js uses console.log, and the output shows in the console window where you did npm start dev

the module.js uses Log.log() and the output shows up in the console tab of the developers window started with npm start dev or ctrl-shift-i (letter i)

[Seann]

@sdetweil Yeah I know that, but none of which are printing anything from the scripts posted above.
I did try node_helper with console.log but no output so I switched to Log.info to test that too.

@sdetweil Nevermind, received the notification now somehow. Thank you for your help.

@seann and u really should wait til you get the “ALL_MODULES_STARTED” notification before starting communications between components… .like this

//  helper.js
var helper;
Module.register("helper", {
  defaults: {
 
  },
  start: function(){
    helper = this;
    Log.info("Started Module: " + helper.name);   
  },
  notificationReceived: function (notification, payload) {
           if(notification ==="ALL_MODULES_STARTED")
		 helper.sendSocketNotification('helper_notification', {});
	},
  socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload){
    Log.info("Helper Recieved notification: " + notification);
  }
});

also, if you use Log.error() in the module,the messages will be easier to find in early development

@sdetweil Perfect, thank you! :)
