"undefined is not a function" error on startup (Win7) about shader-school HOT 8 CLOSED

Yea I got this problem too - not sure what causes it

from shader-school.

require('insert-css')(
fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/style.css', 'utf8') <-- stops right here saying "Uncaught TypeError. undefined is not a function"
)

WAHOOO I got it to work!

Update your GIT install to the latest one - I just installed v.1.9.4 from http://msysgit.github.io/

Then try installing from GIT BASH

It works straight away for me then.

I just ran into this and running form Git Bash allowed me to run shader-school too. I was getting the same function undefined error.

This is still an issue (10/23/2014). I think running from bash might be a work around, but not a solution.
The problem seems to be that the browser is attempting to make a node file system call (fs.readFileSync). This is part of index.js. I am not sure if this is supposed to be stubbed out to a network request? Or if there is something more fundamentally broken.

@joshball I think you are having the same issue I encountered here: #58 due to a bug in browserify. There is a pull-request open for browserify that should fix it...

Fixed as of 344dd3d :)

Btw, npm install -g shader-school still arrives the same error because there isn't yet an npm-visible release that contains this fix.
