cannot find module node:events but node version is 16.6 - node.js

My code is getting this error with using a html script using discord.js runned by electron(nodeIntergation is true and node is working in html)but I get the error: cannot find module node:events when I search it on web it says upgrade your node to 16.6 but it still don't work on 16.6
Here is the node -v command to proof
I dont't know why this is happening can someone help?

I don't know is this a good solution or gonna cause bugs but when I change some of the code in module's code it just worked(changing node:x to x just an example not real module)thanks to #Darren Cook because the thing he said in the comments make me looking to some documention on node.js and I see the modules start to calling module_name to node:module_name from some version(I guess 16.6)like I said I don't know is this a good solution but worked for me no bugs till this moment

Grunt still unable to handle ES6 imports?

I am working on a project under NodeJS that uses ES6 imports/exports (hence having set type: module in its package.json) and want to automate some tasks using Grunt. Now, I absolutely love grunt, but it appears to me that even in 2022 it is still not able to work nicely with ES6 modules? I always get an error saying "require() of ES Module /vagrant/Gruntfile.js from /vagrant/node_modules/grunt/lib/grunt/task.js not supported."
I understand where this is coming from, and I do understand there are workaround options - in particular, renaming Gruntfile.js to Gruntfile.cjs and passing it to grunt with the --gruntfile command line option. But that is incredibly annoying - it makes the command six times as long as it would be if I could just run grunt and be done with it. Pretty much the same goes for transpiling with something like Babel: That is exactly the kind of thing grunt is intended to handle in the first place, so it feels a bit like the horse riding the jockey. I feel like this should "just work".
Am I missing something here, or is grunt really unable to handle ES6 imports out of the box?
Actually, looking at the grunt github page it appears that a recent commit has addressed it.
I guess this issue will therefore be resolved in their next update.

`fake-timers` 7.1.x compile error "Cannot find name 'queueMicrotask'."

I'm trying to compile a Salesforce sfdx plugin which is a node project with (among others) the following dependency chain that ultimately leads to fake-timers#^7.1.0:
#salesforce/command#2.2.0 -> #oclif/test#^1.2.4 -> fancy-test#^1.4.3 -> #types/sinon#* -> #sinonjs/fake-timers#^7.1.0.
When compiling it with the Typescript compiler tsc, I get the following error:
node_modules/#sinonjs/fake-timers/types/fake-timers-src.d.ts:11:28 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'queueMicrotask'.
11 queueMicrotask: typeof queueMicrotask;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Found 1 error.
error Command failed with exit code 1.
This looks like a bug in fake-timers-src.d.ts but introduced in 7.1.0 so I could try to lock the version at 7.0.5 but that might break all kinds of other things.
Does anybody who uses/maintains fake-timers know how to fix this? Or will this be fixed in a future version?
BTW I'm a total NodeJS n00b so if there's something really obvious here that I'm missing, please be kind and just tell me what it is :)
Thanks!

The problem here has all to do with TypeScript and nothing to do with Node, so I feel your pain. No wonder you are wondering. The problem is that the definitions are probably missing that property. For version 7 we tried to generate TypeScript definitions from JSDoc. This works reasonably well for simpler type, but ultimately, TypeScript is more powerful in describing types than JSDoc (like the typeof operator), so it was an uphill battle that would never result in the same quality as the types available from the external Definitely Typed project. We ended up abandoning that effort and therefore this will not be fixed, but it will naturally go away with version 8 (that will not be shipping its own types).
What you can do is this: npm install #sinonjs/fake-timers#6 (which is the previous version) and npm install #types/sinonjs__fake-timers#6 (which are the externally maintained types).
You might find some background for this in this issue.

TypeError after upgrading Node version

I'm trying to fix this problem for 6 hours now and I'm slowly starting to lose my mind, so please excuse my generic question.
First of all I am using:
Node: 8.10.0 | npm: 5.6.0 | Yarn: 1.5.1
I just upgraded my project to Node v8 and npm refused to install all dependencies, so i installed yarn which fixed the issue immediately.
My sources are compiled using Laravel Mix which utilises Webpack, Babel, ... internally.
Installing and compiling of my sources works perfectly fine now but for some reason my compiled js file is not working anymore (even if I downgrade to the previous Node version - 6.10.0).

I have aboslutely no ideas what this error means let alone what causes it.
I know that the error message is pretty generic and could probably mean a lot of things but hopefully someone knows what it means given my context.
Thanks!
#Ortomala Lokni's answer pushed me in the right direction.
For some reason I thought my problem was related to my build scripts, npm, webpack or anything of that sort, which - of course - it was not.
Event though it wasn't really an API change as he suggested there was simply a wrong call to the VueJS constructor in my JS file which, for some reason, had been ignored by a previous release of VueJs but apparently not by the current one.
For anyone experiencing some weird bugs that just don't make sense I recommend the following:
First of all: Determine what really is your problem - if it compiles it is most certainly not related to your JS build
Comment out all of your JS code in your main file
The error should be gone at this point
Narrow down the error by trying to uncomment line by line (or block by block) and test your code after each uncomment
Even though this steps might seem obvious you can easily forget about such simple thing because of the million things that could possibly break when working with modern JS.
Sometime when you upgrade libraries you have to adapt some code. As Javascript is not a typed language, the problem does't appears at compile time but at run time.
In your case, I suppose that you have a problem similar as this one.
Check which libraries yarn has upgraded and verify if some API has changed.

require 'coffee-script/register' - unexpected string

I'm using coffee-script 1.7.1 (or I want to use it). Can't make it work, though.
first line of my server.coffee file is require 'coffee-script/register' and I get the oh-so familiar error SyntaxError: Unexpected string. On version 1.6.3 all was well.
In a different project I've successfully used coffee 1.7.1 when the starting file was server.js, but don't want to do it here.
Has anyone made this work? Preferably without making some sort of weird workarounds.
I'm using coffescript 1.7.1 and require 'coffee-script/register' with server.coffee.
Not sure if this applies to your situation, but I spent many hours on a similar error before I realized that I was launching my app from the wrong instance. For example, /usr/bin/coffee instead of /usr/local/bin/coffee.
which coffee gave me the correct path.
I think that you only will need to require coffee-script/register when you are writing JS and want to load a coffeescript file.

Coffee script path.exists deprecated notice from node.js

OSX 10.6
CoffeeScript 1.2.0
node.js v0.7.7-pre
I am seeing a deprecation notice every time I run the coffee command. The notice is this:
path.exists is deprecated. It is now called `fs.exists`.
I know that this is happening because node.js deprecated path.exists. See
https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/2587
I would think there would be a lot of info about this but all I can see is some indirect reference relating to a more serious issue saying it's not going to be 'fixed':
https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/2113
Am I the only one having this problem? Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can make this go away?
https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/blob/master/lib/coffee-script/command.js#L323
There are references to path.exists in the coffeescript source code.
Note that that in node 0.6 (the current stable version) fs.exists is null so it's difficult to cleanly upgrade this.
We have an issue where the same source code doesn't work in both 0.6 and 0.7.
I would assume that we wait for 0.8 and then someone will upgrade coffeescript to use fs.exists and deprecate 0.6 support
When waiting for 0.8, on OSX you can temporary fix this issue by replacing all path.exists to fs.exists in file (if you install globally):
/opt/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/lib/coffee-script/command.js
Don't forget to use root access when editing.
This is a bit of a late answer, but there is a patching module meant to temporarily fix this problem until everyone has a chance to update there code.
https://github.com/SportZing/node-exists-patch
Couldn't you just change all the instances of that in the source code?
