Error: ENOENT, open '/etc/resolv.conf'

[omarvelous]

This has happened randomly 3 times now, where Katon will just fail to work. Usually I do a npm uninstall and re-install and it's all good and dandy. However the last time, I just started it up, and it started working again.

This is the error that re-occures in the daemon.log

Thanks for the report, seems to be an issue with native-dns.
tjfontaine/node-dns#63

A new version of native-dns has just been published and should fix this issue :)
I've updated katon with it (v0.6.3), should be ok now.

[typicode]

Still having the issue if WiFi is off. Reopening the issue.

[typicode]

I've switched to another dns server and released 0.6.5 should be ok now.

Still getting this issue. @typicode it looks like you've switched back to native-dns and away from dnsjack is this intentional?

[typicode]

@davej hmm... good question, I don't really remember the all story but there was this problem: #44

In the end @assaf fixed the issue by customizing the DNS response. So I guess it's one reason native-dns is used and switching to dnsjack would be complicated.

I'm reopening the issue.

BTW, if you find a way to reproduce just let me know.

[davej]

To reproduce it I just have to use katon without a network connection (i.e. turn off wifi and plug out ethernet). I changed the dependency to point to this fork https://github.com/silverwind/node-dns/ and that fixed it for me.
