Hi,
I am trying to destroy a domain using the following code

var libvirt = require('node-libvirt');
var hypervisor = new libvirt.Hypervisor('vbox:///session');
var domain = hypervisor.lookupDomainByName('ubuntu1204');
console.log(domain.start());
setTimeout(console.log(domain.stop()), 5000);
setTimeout(console.log(domain.start()), 5000);

But it seems to be giving me this error

true
true
libvir: Domain error : invalid domain pointer in virDomainCreate

/Users/Subho/Documents/Workshop/Megh/test.js:12
setTimeout(console.log(domain.start()), 5000);
                              ^
[object Error]

What is the problem here?

Cheers,
Subho

Hey @subszero, even though, node-libvirt bindings are pretty complete, they haven't been tested properly and need to be updated to recent nodejs versions. Also, issue #9 is a big deal for production systems since it will block the main nodejs thread. At this point, I don't really know when I'm going to have spare time to give more attention to this module :/. Sorry about that and contributions are very welcome.

@c4milo is there an official TODO list? Looks like there just needs to be testing (switching to Mocha) and the async stuff (#9).

The existing issues are very broad, I'd say that for now they are the more urgent changes that need to happen.
