[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#747277: cannot start app: no method createServer

[Joseph Nahmias]

Package: node-express
Version: 4.1.1~dfsg-1
Severity: grave

Hello,

Since I updated node-express today, I am no longer able to start my webapp.  I get the following error message:

$ head srv.js 
// new server using Express module
var debug = require('debug')('express');
var express = require('express');
var proc = require('./procs');
var port = 9001;

var app = express.createServer();
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

// log all requests
$ DEBUG=* nodejs srv.js 

/home/joe/dev/i10/srv.js:7
var app = express.createServer();
                  ^
TypeError: Object function createApplication() {
  var app = function(req, res, next) {
    app.handle(req, res, next);
  };

  mixin(app, proto);
  mixin(app, EventEmitter.prototype);

  app.request = { __proto__: req, app: app };
  app.response = { __proto__: res, app: app };
  app.init();
  return app;
} has no method 'createServer'
