Bot crashes at startup if no file exists in wiki directory

nodemon startup crash

Current Solution

Create an empty .md file in nap/data/wiki/ directory.
touch nap/data/wiki/no-crash.md

This might be due to the following code.

File: nap/lib/bot/KBase.js

fs.readdirSync(wikiDataDir).forEach(function (name) {
            //console.log("reading", name);
            if (! /md$/.test(name) ) {
                //console.log("skipping " + name);
            } else {
                var filePath = path.join(wikiDataDir, name);
                var arr = filePath.split(path.sep);

can you paste errors as text? its easier to comment on..

EADDR in use usually means you have another node instance running. not
saying an empty wiki won't crash things, but that's not what's the problem
here...

@dcsan I'm not running multiple node instances apart from brackets. And brackets is not the reason of the crash. The bot runs normally at other times even if brackets is running.

That crash error goes away as soon as I apply the solution mentioned i.e. add an empty .md file to nap/data/wiki/ directory.
