Hi Kilian, As Josh mentioned, VM.js should only be used by applications that are bundled in the platform. For our services (like cn-agent and vm-agent), we use a wrapper library that takes care of executing vmadm and parsing it's feedback. I've written up some docs, and posted it to npm here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/vmadm/ Switching where you require VM.js with that library should hopefully not be too difficult. For most of the functions you should just need to wrap up the first several arguments into an object with the right property names. - Cody On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 11:01 AM, Josh Wilsdon <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there any plan form Joyent to update this Library to a newer node >> version?
