You can’t perform that action at this time.

Fixed with
npm install bufferutil utf-8-validate, and I suspect this issue is probably not within the scope of angular-websockets to fix. Should these actually be dependencies ofwsor does it make sense for these to be dependencies of this project directly?Remco75 commentedon Nov 18, 2016
nope, I think this is somewhere within this module: webpack doesnt work as well.
some code has changed so it tries to load to much it seems :-(

I vote for
bufferutilandutf-8-validatebeing added as dependencies ofangular-websocket. Is there a reason the author didn't do this?Ocramius commentedon Apr 19, 2017
This was handled in fdfea1f

Don't you need this in production? (was added to
devDependencies)danielpiedra commentedon Sep 4, 2017
any insights here? i believe @odedniv is right..

I've not needed to install those dependencies, because anyway when I running the node.js server, it throw an error in socket.io, so what I've done is exclude those dependencies
bufferutilandutf-8-validatewhen run browserify on the terminal or as statement so this way-u bufferutil -u utf-8-validate.belfz commentedon Sep 7, 2017
I'm facing similar problem (with webpack):

Drive by comment, I came across this same error when including
wsin the client side. It's actually not needed on the client side and browsers should use the nativeWebSocketconstructor. See this issue for more information: websockets/ws#423jacek-jaskolski commentedon Nov 8, 2017
If your client is in browser you can use my fork to resolve this issue.
npm i jacek-jaskolski/angular-websocket --saveAraevin commentedon Mar 6, 2025
This seems to have been deleted. I needed it for an old project. In case anyone is here looking for it, I have it up at 'Araevin/angular-websocket'.
