Does this actually work?

[Rex90]

I am unable to open a connection on a machine with a logged in bberg terminal... No Errors.. nothing happens when i listen to connection open event

[apaprocki]

Yes, it actually works. Can you post your code to a gist?

[Rex90]

Hi - literally just copy pasted the demo. I tried with localhost too

var blpapi = require('blpapi');
var session = new blpapi.Session({ host: '127.0.0.1', port: 8194 });

session.on('SessionStarted', function(m) {
    console.log("ready for work"); // never fires
});

[Rex90]

I do see some warnings when im installing.. not sure they are relevant?

My code:

var blpapi = require('blpapi');
var session = new blpapi.Session({ host: '127.0.0.1', port: 8194 });

session.on('SessionStarted', function(m) {
    console.log("ready for work"); // never fires
});

I run the code and no errors, but SessionStarted does not work.
What am I doing wrong?

[scottkunkel]

Did you call session.start() in the end?
