Node js 0.10.7: cluster support for udp dgram?

Question

I'm trying to run following node js application as mentioned https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/2194

var util = require("util"),
  dgram = require("dgram"),
  cluster = require('cluster');

var udp = dgram.createSocket("udp4");
var port = 1190;

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
    cluster.fork();
  }
} else {
  util.log("starting udp server on port " + port);
  udp.on("error", function (error) {
    util.log("failed to bind to UDP port - " + error)
  });
  udp.bind(port);
}

The app exits immediately with the following output:

23 May 23:22:13 - starting udp server on port 1190
23 May 23:22:13 - starting udp server on port 1190

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

    at handleMessage (child_process.js:318:10)

Does anyone know what is going on? When running this without cluster, everything is fine. It seems that cluster does not support udp?

Some specs:

Window 7 x64
node js 0.10.7

Answer 1

It says in the link your provided that support for UDP clustering was added in v0.11.14. It is likely that you simply need to update your version of node.js
