I'm building a basic MEAN webapp and am new to the stack. I have the front end running, but as soon as I add the following lines to app.js:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
require('./models/test');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:3000/design-data-test');
I get the following error in terminal:
Error: Cannot find module 'debug'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)

And all of my front end code stops running. Mongodb is running on the default port.
How would I go about resolving this error?
For future visitors: You are probably missing a dependency. Make sure you run this first:
npm install
... before you run your app with npm start or node <app>
I think this may happen if you have a child dependency on debug through another package (for example express or mongoose) but you did not provide the dependencies' package.json files with the deployed application which makes node.js unable to locate debug.

I have an issue with the deployment of a node app to production.
When I try to execute with Node a script I get the following error:
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:498

However when I execute this script on the testing server works fine.
We even copy and paste the node modules folder from the testing server to the production server but the error is the same.
I think is an error in some external package but I don't understand how the same configuration can have this kind of error depending on the system.
I've tried to update npm from 6.14.5 to 7.23.0 but the error persists.
Both testing and production server uses the same version of Node, 14.X
The only possibility remaining is that I'm using a different NODE_ENV variable between the 2 servers but looking at the error message it's seems unlikely.
Thanks in advance.
I've developed an electron app with following tech stack:
NodeJS (10.15) with Babel to allow ES6 import/export syntax.
Sequelize on SQLite and GraphQL to handle an internal database.
ReactJS (bundled) for views.
I've configured everything to work with Electron and running "electron" command in project root folder works without errors.
Now i'm trying to distribute it using this tutorial: https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/application-distribution
So i've simply downloaded the 4.1.4 binaries for windows and moved the project folder under resources/app/
But running the electron.exe i've the following error:
App threw an error during load

i've also tried to run npx electron resources/app/ from binaries folder and i've got the same error.
So i think the issue is something about the paths.
i've also tried electron-packager and the error is the same because this tool does the same process of guide above.
What can i do to fix it?
UPDATE1: after some investigations i've found that babel causes the issues. I guess when you run a project from a parent folder. I'm trying to find a solution
i've solved using this kind of configuration for babel/register:
const rootPath=path.resolve(path.join(__dirname, "../../"));
require("#babel/register")({
root: rootPath,
extends: path.join(rootPath, '.babelrc'),
ignore: [/node_modules/],
only: [rootPath],
})
With the package.json, it's possible to do something like this
"dependencies": {
"WindowManager": "./lib/WindowManager"
},
But when trying to do this in Electron, it gives me this error:
App threw an error during load
Error: Cannot find module 'WindowManager'
at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:470:15)

Is it because of Electron, or am I doing something wrong?
./lib/WindowManager is a folder with a package.json in it with a main pointing to the WindowManager.js, so that should work.
The case you try to do normally works, make sure that the dependency "WindowManager" has been properly copied by the build tools to either:
.../desktop/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/node_modules
or
.../desktop/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules
If WindowManager does not exist in the disted node_modules there is something wrong with your build process, hard to be more precise than that.
I've following folder structure.
I am trying to access my custom module (core_programming/Constants.js) in other files.
I can access it in routes/index.js without any issue using following code.
var Constants = require('../core_programming/Constants.js');
But I am getting error when I try to access it inside core_programming/User.js with following statement.
var Constants = require('Constants.js');
It gives following error:
module.js:338
throw err;

I've tried different ways for defining path in require like ../core_programming/Constants.js and ./core_programming/Constants.js but nothing works out.
What is the correct way for loading custom modules from the same directory.
And, I am on Windows if that helps.
Try to use:
var Constants = require('./Constants.js');
This will force Node to figure out you are looking for a relative path and not a package in node_modules.
On a side note, windows paths use \, so consider trying it as well:
var Constants = require('.\Constants.js');
I am in the process of setting up two different web application projects on my server. I am attempting to get Node, MongoDB, and the Forever Node module set up correctly so that I can use Forever on my scripts to keep them running 24/7.
The main issue I am running into is the local vs. global installations for Node and the two modules. I have attempted this installation process five times now using a few resources online as well as a bash script that I found here (https://github.com/punkave/stagecoach/blob/master/sc-proxy/install-node-and-mongo-on-ubuntu.bash).
Nothing I do seems to work correctly. Either the Forever command doesn't work from my application's folder or when Forever does work, the process gets stopped immediately with a log file created. Here is the contents of the log file:
module.js:340
throw err;

So obviously I am not installing Node, MongoDB, and Forever correctly. What is the best way to go about this process?
I am running on an Ubuntu 14.04 instance hosted on an Amazon AWS EC2 server.
Here is my require() for mongodb:
var mongo = require('mongodb'),
Server = mongo.Server,
Db = mongo.Db,
host = "localhost";
