Node.js v18.16.1

What should I do ?

Already tried : Delete the node_modules directory Delete the package-lock.json file Run npm install

Also tried : created a new folder and did the same

Answer 1

Try with:

import * as fs from 'fs';

Answer 2

The error message reads: 'Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Sayan\OneDrive\Desktop\project prac\node\index.js.' This usually indicates that you are attempting to run the 'node' command from a different directory or that the file 'index.js' does not exist in the specified directory. In my case I was trying to run it on folder above my 'index.js' folder.

Answer 3

This error is occurring because there is a space in path like: C:\Users\DELL\Documents\web development\nodejs\basic> Here, in the path of directory there is a space "web development" try to remove this space by rename. Or you can rename this to "web_development".

Answer 4

In my case it was wrong name of index file: index,js
After fixing it, the errors are gone.

Answer 5

I don't know What module you had installed, but in my case when I use json-server

I got same error when used json-server I had tried many way like

• remove node_module and package.json but didn't work
• I use json-server lastest with 1.0.0-alpha.21 So I think that I must update node and npm version but still didn't work

So I try don't use lastest 1.0.0-alpha.21 and change to "json-server": "^0.17.4" It work well In node project I do

• npm uninstall json-server (remove package json-server)
• npm install [email protected] (install with specify version)
