I had this issue as well. I fixed it by installing the following packages (the --save option is important)
npm install --save bufferutil
and then
npm install --save utf-8-validate

This needs to be fixed soon.

I believe all they have to do is update their package.json file to include these dependencies. .

I can confirm the same exact problem, my project is using Socket.io

[rahul-dutt-sharma]

we should not be bundling socket.io in nexe
in the build part use something like this.

nexe.compile({ input: input_path, output: output_path, nodeVersion: '6.3.0', nodeTempDir: node_temp_dir, nodeConfigureArgs: ['opt', 'val'], nodeMakeArgs: ['-j', '8'], nodeVCBuildArgs: ['nosign', 'x64'], flags: true, jsFlags: '--use_strict', framework: 'node', browserifyExcludes: [ 'socket.io', 'socket.io-client', 'socket.io-parser', 'socket.io-adapter', ], }, (err) => { if (err) { console.log(err); } });

@rahul-dutt-sharma I am new to nexe. Why shouldn't we bundle socket.io in nexe? How else will socket.io work within the compiled app? What am I missing? Thanks.

Had the exact same problem. Tip from @medemi68 worked.

There isn't a reason to not bundle socket.io. Fixed in nexe@beta closing
