Is there an error in how extensions are added: Drupalchat_nodejs workaround for drupal nodejs module > 7.x-1.12 [#2691901]

This is just a work around because the nodejs module has been refactored I believe there are bugs in the way extensions are loaded

install drupal-node.js
cd drupal-node.js/extensions
copy the drupalchat_nodejs extension to that directory

in the config file for node nodejs add this line
extensions : ['/drupalchat_nodejs.server.extension.js'],

please notice the '/'

start your server

In the old nodejs module, it could just be in the same directory as the config file. that is no longer the case

I think this is an error in the new nodejs module and how it handles extensions
