Cannot find module dtrace-provider - node.js

I have a simple nodejs application that is throwing "Cannot find module './build/Release/DTraceProviderBindings'". I look it up online and it looks like that a lot of people are having the same problem when using restify on windows (which is my case, I'm using restify on windows 10). Apparently, dtrace-provider is a optional module for restify and there is no version of it for windows. So, what I tried so far:
Update node to v6.2.0;
Uninstall all modules and run npm install --no-optional;
Uninstall only restify and run npm install restify --no-optional;
And my most desperate move npm install dtrace-provider.
Everything I tried where found on github issues, I've seen same error on OSX users with other modules. Not sure what else to try.
Note: This exception does not stop my application, not even prints the error on the console, I just notice that this was happening using the debugger, in other words, my application runs fine, but this keeps happening on the background.
List of other modules I'm using:
"dependencies": {
"restify": "latest",
"request": ">=2.11.1",
"cheerio": ">=0.10.0",
"xml2js": ">=0.2.0",
"botbuilder": "^0.11.1",
"applicationinsights": "latest"
}

This worked for me after switching to Node 6.1 (and when re-installing node modules didn't work):
Install and save dtrace-provider
$ npm install dtrace-provider --save
Delete 'node_modules' folder
Re-install node modules
$ npm install
I found this thread before combining your attempts with another solution on the Github project issues for restify (https://github.com/restify/node-restify/issues/1093) and simplified best as possible.

I recently ran into this error as well on node 6.11.1.
I ran npm rebuild dtrace-provider and that resolved the problem.

The restify team followed an approach of trying to load the module by requiring it on a try/catch block. You should just ignore the exception.

I had success with the following (elaborate) sequence:
Adjust my path to not have spaces
rm -rf node_modules
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/node-gyp/
npm cache clean --force
V=1 npm install -S dtrace-provider#0.8.8 --python=python2.7 (repeat this step, resolving as you go, until the install is completely successful … if it fails, check the version - I had rogue dtrace-provider#0.6.0 building at one point)
npm install
At this point everything should have installed cleanly, and I was congratulating myself on a job well done. Then I executed my code and still got the DTraceProviderBindings error. The cause was nested dependencies with the wrong version of dtrace-provider (especially bunyan).
To confirm, do npm list | grep dtrace -B6.
If there's anything lower than 0.8.8, edit package-lock.json, following the method in How do I override nested NPM dependency versions?. Replace requires with dependencies for dtrace-provider and update the version.
Back round to get everything clean: rm -rf node_modules
Then, again, npm install --python=python2.7
I had to iterate round npm list a few times because I thought I'd caught everything and I hadn't.
The key points were to use the required version of python, have a unix-friendly path, and hunt down all nested dependencies. The python version issues gave a big messy error, the space issue gave a much more missable error.

I know this is an old issue but I wanted to comment on it in case anyone else has the same issue I had.
My issue was caused by having parentheses in my path.
/users/karlgroves/Dropbox (Personal)/foo/bar/bat/project...
Moving the project to a path without the parens worked for me.
You'll need to wipe out node_modules and reinstall again.

I recently ran into this error as well on node v8.8.1
as #Derek mentioned, I ran npm rebuild dtrace-provider and that resolved the problem.

tl;dr; dtrace-provider utilized node-gyp which required python version >= 2.5 and NOT 3.5
I had this issue on OSX and found a post that showed using environment variable
V=/Users/your_user/your_project npm i dtrace-provider
This let me know that there was a dependency on node-gyp that was failing to build...Once I knew the issue was with this module was able to focus my attention at troubleshooting node-gyp.
This led to some log output indicating that my python version 3.5 was unsupported and it required version >= 2.5.
Went and downloaded python 2.7.x and checked /usr/bin/python 2.7.x to ensure it was there. Uninstalled the node module that was ultimately requiring this module, then used npm cache clean then reinstalled the module and this time it appeared to pick up the right python version to be able to build.
Hope this helps someone =)

I have tried many suggestions but get the same error again.
Finally, I found the correct way to solve this question.
Go the node.js website and download the latest version of node.js pkg.
After installed, reinstall your software, everything will be ok.

i managed to get this working by running this command
npm install --python=python2.7

Cannot find module 'fs/promises' Electron JS

Good morning,
I have created a program in Vue JS, this connects with an API that I have created in a main.js file to execute system commands.
The problem I have is that when compiling for production with electron I get the following error:
I use the command npm run electron: build
When I use npm run electron:serve work without problems
Anyone have any idea why is the error and how to fix it?
Thanks
I experienced this issue a few days ago as well. I realized that trying to fix another issue, I deleted the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json file, then run the npm install command. This made the build to fail with 'fs/promises'. There are 2 solutions to this issue:
Download the latest stable Node version. This should have the 'fs/promises' module and will fix the issue.
Delete the node_modules folder and bring back the old package-lock.json file to ensure that the package versions remain the same. Then run the npm install command and the issue should be fixed.
downgrade electron
"electron-builder": "^22.10.5",
or upgrade nodejs to 14+ v
downgrade to "electron-builder": "~22.10.5" is working for me
In that case I fixed the problem in that way:
const fs = require('fs').promises;
Instead of:
const fs = require('fs/promises');
In my case I was using nvm to manage multiple node versions.
During the npm package installation, and throughout development, I used Node v14 but for some reason, my terminal was pointing to Node v12 when I tried bundling my program afterwards.
Switching it back to Node v14 using nvm use 14 solved my issue.
So make sure you're using the correct node version.
Upgrade to electron-updater#5.0.0. It has patch changes replacing fs/promises with fs-extra to support legacy versions of electron.
got the same error "Cannot find module 'fs/promises'" while I don't use electron.
so the problem is not only related to electron
solved the problem just by upgrading nodejs from v13.9.0 to v14.19.3
If this happens to you (and I'm not using Electron either), and you have to stay on Node 12 like me (because the code you are maintaining is ancient), pray that you can get to one of the npm-shrinkwrap.json files you used that worked, then go through package.json, force every version to what was in the shrinkwrap file, rm -rf node_modules, and npm install.
I experienced this issue a few days ago. I realized that trying to fix another issue, I deleted the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json file, then run the
npm install
This made the build to fail with 'fs/promises'.
Delete the node_modules folder and bring back the old package-lock.json file to ensure that the package versions remain the same
then run the npm command with force
npm install --force
it work for me..
I had the same problem, after upgrading the electron-builder from v. 21.4.0 to 23.0.2, updated with the command:
 
sudo npm install -g electron-builder#23.0.2
I solved updating npm, and then node.js.
Update npm:
sudo npm install -g npm#latest
 
Install nodejs from https://nodejs.org
Now it works with :
 
Electron-builder: 23.0.2 (command electron-builder --version)
Npm: 8.7.0 (command npm --version)
Nodejs: v16.15.0 (command node --version)

Cannot find Typescript using NVM

I have nvm installed and recently fixed an issue with a conflict with a previously installed version of node. Fixing it meant removing the node executable from the prior location. Some things still work but I'm getting this error:
Cannot find module 'typescript'
and this fix didn't help me:
How to fix Cannot find module 'typescript' in Angular 4?
running ng new is what is triggering the error.
I have typescript installed globally. And to ensure that is installed with this version of node, I ran:
nvm use 10 && npm i -g typescript
/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v10.16.0/lib/node_modules/typescript/bin/tsserver
Thanks,
Wayne
When using nvm, every node version has it's own globally installed dependencies. If you are not finding something you have installed previously for a different version of node (or you have removed it), this can be a reason.
For anyone coming across this question, I found the answer here.
How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)
I had to do all of the steps in the most accepted answer. I also had to:
rm -Rf /user/local/bin/node_modules
It might be a good idea to search your machine for all node_modules folders and, of course, ignore any "local" versions. And delete all of them that are not in your nvm directory. That directory will look somehting like:
/Users/username/.nvm/versions/node/v#####/lib/node_modules
You can identify yours using:
npm root -g

Node MODULE_NOT_FOUND

I just upgraded to node version 9.0.0 and am now getting this error in the command line when trying to use npm install
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'
I'm using:
OSX 10.10.5
Node version 9.0.0
NPM version 5.5.1
Extra information: I am also trying to do this with a Laravel 5.5 project. This is how I update my version of node: How do I update Node.js?
run
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
and then re-install Node.js will work in most cases
Leaving this here for anyone using the n nodejs version manager:
$ n 6.12.0 # Go back to a stable release
$ npm install -g npm#latest # Update npm to latest
$ n lts # Get 8.9.1
$ npm install #Should work now.
The MODULE_NOT_FOUND error seems to happen when changing between node versions and some files are possibly still being cached. I am not sure exactly but the above sequence of commands work for me.
When I first got this, I solved just running "npm install" again to make sure everything was installed.
I got similar error also on Windows 8 after I have just upgraded node js. First: how I ran into the issue then the solution that worked for me.
How I ran to the issue:
When I did npm --version and node --version I discovered that I wass running npm v3.x and node 5.x. So I went to nodejs.org site from where I downloaded node-v8.11.3-x64.msi. After installing the msi package I confirmed that my nodejs version was now v8.11.3 via node --version command.
Then, when I ran "npm install http-server" (w/o the quotes) that's when I got the issue:
npm ERR!
node v8.11.3
npm ERR! npm v3.5.3
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
My resolution:
I did some research including on the internet and found out that the npm version pointed to in my path was the one in my roaming profile C:\Users[myname.hostname]\AppData\Roaming\npm. In other words, the npm being used is not the one in the updated package I have just installed which is located in C:\Program Files\nodejs.
The resolution was to delete npm and npm-cache in the roaming folder. Note, I used cygwin as I was not able to delete these folders via Windows cmd prompt. With cygwin, I navigated to
cd "C:\Users[myname.hostname]\AppData\Roaming"
Then I removed the aforementioned folders like so
rm -rf npm-cache
rm -rf npm
After that, I opened a new Windows cmd prompt and was able to now successfully install http-server like so:
npm install http-server
Hope this works for you.
For me it was package installation issue, so I just write,
npm i or npm install in the root of the application.
to open the terminal in the root of the application, if you're using VS-code right click on the package.json and click on Open in integrated terminal.
I founded this problem too, so I found that I have imported wrong module instead of express module I had imported router module after I had replaced this two my code work as well
If all the above solutions doesn’t work check for any blank spaces in your folder/file where you copied the path
Make sure you are inside the project folder.
Rename the folder "node_modules" to any other name (for example: node_modules_old).
Run command: "npm i" (the command will build new the folder node_modules).
Try running your program again.
If the problem is resolved and your program is running correct, delete the old folder node_modules.
If you are using libraries make sure to install everything with npm or yarn before starting. And in cases of you files if you are going to use them make sure to do the export.module thing everytime.
If you are working with Local modules then don't have node_modules. All things go well in a easy way.
But if you want to work with both local and node_modules then use
.mjs (extension) - For modules
.cjs (extension) - For common scripts which you want to run with node
in which you can use require statements like
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
but if using .js extension then use
import http from "http"
import fs from "fs"
And also your package.json for type
Haa well, I have spent two days on this and have done everything I can to fix this issue even tried resetting the system but none of them reloved the issue.
And accidentally found out what was causing this issue, it is because of & in my parent folder name. File hierarchy R&D>remix>blog, When I was trying to run the blog server it was throwing module not found, require stack error.
code: ←[32m'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'←[39m,
requireStack: []
Solution: I have changed the parent folder name to RnD and it fixed the issue. If the file name contains any special characters(even parent folders) try updating it. In my case, it is &
The MODULE_NOT_FOUND error happened to me and even running npm install the error persisted.
Try to do this
For me, what worked was deleting the node_modules folder
rm -r -f node_modules/
After that, run the command to install the package.json dependencies
npm install
What happened to me was that when I ran npm install for the first time I had a very low internet connection and therefore I believe that the packages from package.json were not downloaded correctly and due to that the MODULE_NOT_FOUND error occurred. The funny thing is that just running the npm install command has no effect because it understands that the package is already there but it isn't. Similar as a corrupted data. In my case the npm update was without effect too.
If when you are using React And getting this error message. You can use this ,
NPM
npm install #reduxjs/toolkit
Yarn
yarn add #reduxjs/toolkit

Why do Node modules go into .staging folder?

I have an Electron app that I'm trying to install node modules for. When I run npm install, it creates the node_modules folder but all the modules go into a subfolder called .staging. Each module also has -xxxxx appended to it, where the x's are some random alphanumerics.
Other Electron apps I've created have never done this. All the node modules sit in the root of node_modules and don't have -xxxxx appended.
Any idea why this is happening?
I was also facing the same issue, I tried the steps below:
Delete package-lock.json
Delete Node Modules folder
Try installing it using below command (should be in open network)
npm install
Note: - ".staging" means, those dependencies are getting downloaded so for the temporary basis it keeps all those dependencies under ".staging" folder. Once all gets downloaded properly then it will showcase them under node_modules only.
I hope this will work.
This only happens temporarily until the modules are downloaded and installed. Node seems to do this so it can place together common submodules from all the modules you are installing so it can better structure the node modules folder(mainly for windows users).
If this is happening after an npm install finishes it is likely that there is something wrong with your node installation or something in the install failed.
If you're automatically installing node_modules using CI/CD you should check out npm ci. Also check out this Stackoverflow question.
npm ci
The documentation points out the differences between npm install and npm ci.
The project must have an existing package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json
If dependencies in the package lock do not match those in package.json, npm ci will exit with an error, instead of updating the package lock.
npm ci can only install entire projects at a time: individual dependencies cannot be added with this command.
If a node_modules is already present, it will be automatically removed before npm ci begins its install. This is nice, because it prevents having to do something like rm -rf node_modules.
It will never write to package.json or any of the package-locks: installs are essentially frozen.
.staging is a temporary npm folder, where the modules are temporarily saved while they are being downloaded, if the package.json downloads are still not completed, the created folder remains, until the installation is complete.
The problem may be lack of space on your hard drive.
I was having 2 versions of node installed on my system.
nodejs v4.2 and node v8.6
I thought this could be conflicting, so I deleted nodejs v4.2 with following commands.
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
and linked the path with
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/nodejs
Again I ran npm install and it got fixed
Delete package.lock.json
Delete node_modules
run npm update
This worked for me
I moved the project from C drive to other drive and ran the following commands
take a backup of older node modules if you are running this and existing project
npm cache clean --force
npm update
I faced similar issue and tried the above answers but it did'nt worked for me;
I followed below steps to resolve this issue-
1.npm audit
By running npm audit I got list of pending packages to install-
2.npm i packagename
After installing one or two package one by one from list, I used
3.npm install
At this time the installation went smooth without any lag or hangup. Hope this help who is facing similar issue :).
Sometimes the cache is corrupt and also unremovable.
This fixed the issue I was experiencing.
If you are using nvm
Get the current node version node --version
nvm uninstall (that version)
nvm install (that version)
nvm use
npm install
If you have a windows machine where you do not posses Admin rights to it.
Try deleting node_modules and install using 'npm install' from command line as
'ADMINISTRATOR'
It works!
Anyways, it comes down to an open network thing ;)

libsass bindings not found when running gulp dist

I'm trying to use a gulp project on my Linux machine. The readme for the project tells me to first run sudo npm install -g gulp bower, then in the project directory run sudo npm install and then bower install. Everything up to this point works just fine for me. However, after that I try to run gulp dist and get this error:
Error: `libsass` bindings not found in /[PROJECT DIRECTORY]/trunk/node_modules/gulp-sass/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-14/binding.node. Try reinstalling `node-sass`?
Googling that error produced this: libsass bindings not found when using node-sass in nodejs, which I tried, but that didn't fix anything. When I looked through that directory that gulp said it couldn't find the difference was the linux-x64-14, mine said linux-x64-11, so I'm assuming I have the wrong version? Just for fun I decided to try changing the name of that folder to what it wanted, and I got a different error:
Error: Module did not self-register.
The really strange thing about all this is that when I tried getting this project working on my Windows machine I didn't have any of these issues, it just worked. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, any ideas?
I've solved this by updating GCC from 4.4.x to 4.7.x.
Because GCC 4.4.x cannot compile node-sass of current version.
It worked for me using below commands. Try it
npm rebuild node-sass
rm -rf node_modules
npm i
This error usually shows up for us when we update our node or io.js version.
I would recommend deleting your node_modules folder and running npm install again.
If that doesn't work it is probably worth deleting your npm cache. There are a number of ways to do it including just a simple npm cache clean
I would also recommend deleting your ~/.npm folder as well just to be sure.
If this doesn't work let me know and we can start debugging your actual Node version and your package.json
