Errors with Node 8: am.emit is not a function (using both appmetrics-dash and appmetrics-prometheus)

[a-roberts]

Application crashes immediately after startup.

    am.emit('socketio', {

No problems on 6.12.0. Happens regardless of import order, package.json features

  "dependencies": {
    "appmetrics-dash": "^3.3.2",
    "appmetrics-prometheus": "^0.0.2",

The application itself is a Bluemix web starter for Node.js so should be an easy recreate, start a basic Express server with

require('appmetrics-dash').attach();
require('appmetrics-prometheus').attach();

the order of the imports doesn't matter in this case either. IBMers can ping me for the code (it's at github.ibm.com).

@a-roberts I don't see this error in my test project running on Node 8 with the same two requires. I'll get the source code from you offline and see what the difference is.

This issue turned out to be a clash between 2 installs of appmetrics when using both appmetrics-dash and appmetrics-prometheus. It will be fixed in the next appmetrics release, but a workaround is to make sure that you only have one copy of appmetrics in your node_modules directory so that there is no clash.

@a-roberts I found this issue because i'm also using both appmetrics-dash and appmetrics-prometheus. I'm trying to find out how to run them both, but using a separate server vs attaching to the main process. Do you know how to do that?
