Are you looking for help with this code for the next edition? I was working through the first Edition and I saw there was a new version of nodecc so I tried it out. I had some problems that maybe I can help you address.

Hi @hellmersjl3ds
What issues have you experienced?

PS: nodecc creates a log file in the same directory called nodecc.log which contains debug information.

I just get a blank screen.

I had to change the region to the one where I do everything in the various js files I'm using.

I don't have a default VPC in the region I'm using.

The log just shows

LOG: open(1) -

We try to keep things simple in the book, that's why we select defaults:

  • We use us-east-1 in the book
  • We ask you to use an AWS account that is new enough to have default VPCs

If you look at the code, us-east-1 is hardcoded and lib/listSubnets.js only lists subnets from your default vpc.

The behaviour is expected.
