(node:6620) DeprecationWarning: process.EventEmitter is deprecated. use require('events') instead.

[ahysing]

As a user of node module robohydra I am experiencing a warning when running on node.js v6.1.0 on windows. The error appears on start of my application, and is listed as a warning.

(node:6620) DeprecationWarning: process.EventEmitter is deprecated. use require('events') instead.

After trail and error I found that the warning disappears if the line https://github.com/LearnBoost/websocket.io/blob/master/lib/socket.js#L6 is changed from

var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter

to

var EventEmitter = require('events')

websocket.io is used as an external dependancy to robohydra.
All features runs just fine. However no websockets are in use in our system, and I am not capable of testing this change. Please help.

ps: I have noted the maintainers of robohydra. thie issue is filed in robohydra/robohydra#24

Thanks a lot, Andreas Dreyer Hysing!!!!!!! its working. I have changed where var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter is defined to var EventEmitter = require('events')

This also works on OSX-Mac running Node v7.7.4
Be patient, you'll need to change it several times in different .js files.

var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter
to
var EventEmitter = require('events')

Thanks ahysing, you save my day.

So which version of node this now supports?

@josvaler @ahysing

I changed the

var EventEmitter = process.EventEmitter
to
var EventEmitter = require('events')

for different .js files but I found this

Socket.prototype.$emit = EventEmitter.prototype.emit;

It is some kind of function, I have no idea how to change it. The command prompt warn this line has something wrong. Actually, I am trying to use tuio.js(https://github.com/fe9lix/Tuio.js), this problem lead me here. Any solutions for the case? Thank you very much!
