Getting Maximum call stack size exceeded error in nodejs
<p>I am new to Node.js and i am developing a simple chat app using <strong>Socket.IO</strong>.
I made an <strong>index.js</strong> file and an <strong>index.html</strong> file. </p>

<p>My <strong>index.js</strong> files looks like this </p>

<pre><code>var app = require('express')();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http);
process.stdin.resume();
process.stdin.setEncoding('utf8');
var util = require('util');

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});

io.on('connection', function(socket){
  socket.on('chat message', function(msg){
     console.log('message: ' + msg);
   });
   var txt = process.stdin.on('data', function (text) {
     process.tick()
     return util.inspect(text)
   });
  socket.emit('chat message',txt);
});

http.listen(3000, function(){
  console.log('listening on *:3000');
});
</code></pre>

<p>My index.html file looks like this</p>

<pre><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Socket.IO chat&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;style&gt;
      * { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; }
      body { font: 13px Helvetica, Arial; }
      form { background: #000; padding: 3px; position: fixed; bottom: 0; width: 100%; }
      form input { border: 0; padding: 10px; width: 90%; margin-right: .5%; }
      form button { width: 9%; background: rgb(130, 224, 255); border: none; padding: 10px; }
      #messages { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
      #messages li { padding: 5px 10px; }
      #messages li:nth-child(odd) { background: #eee; }
    &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
    &lt;ul id="messages"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;form action=""&gt;
      &lt;input id="m" autocomplete="off" /&gt;&lt;button&gt;Send&lt;/button&gt;
    &lt;/form&gt;
    &lt;script src="https://cdn.socket.io/socket.io-1.2.0.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script&gt;
      var socket = io();
      $('form').submit(function(){
        socket.emit('chat message', $('#m').val());
        $('#m').val('');
        return false;
      });
      socket.on('chat message', function(msg){
        $('#messages').append($('&lt;li&gt;').text(msg));
      });
    &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

<p>I am trying to take value from the console and print it on the browser and vice versa. In this app the chat is between the client and the server. </p>

<p>When i run the <strong>index.js</strong> file i get this on the terminal</p>

<pre><code>listening on *:3000
</code></pre>

<p>All is fine until i hit the server with <strong>localhost:3000</strong> from my browser and then i get this on the terminal </p>

<pre><code>buffer.js:0
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { // Copyright Joy
^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
</code></pre>

<p>How can i solve this? I want to get the value from the console(server) and send it to the browser(client). </p>

<p><strong>Update 1</strong> </p>

<p>I get this error </p>

<pre><code>process.tick()
             ^

<p><strong>Update 2</strong> 
<strong>process.tick()</strong> was replaced by <strong>process.nextTick()</strong>
and then i get this error </p>

<pre><code>node.js:415
            callback();
            ^
