[Solved] Cannot find module 'express' or any module

Code Help - Discord
1

I’ve had a discord bot up and running for about a month now and all of a sudden it came up with an error of "Cannot find module ‘express’. I havent touched the code in nearly 2 weeks and it randomly broke. I have another bot with the exact same ‘package.json’ and it’s doing fine; hasnt crashed like this. When I move differnet modules above express it then changes and says “cannot find module ‘{whatever the name of the module I moved to the top is}’”

This happened to my bot yesterday. I’d recommend going into the terminal and running
enable-npm

then waiting for that to run a bit and running
enable-pnpm

I’m going to file a bug. I believe it has to do with an outage we had.

I have already attempted that and it didnt work… weird

Ah, well this is hacky but what I’d do is remix it and see if it works in a remix, than copy over the env info to the new remix and rename the old one something like pennywise-bot-1 and the new rename to pennywise-bot

i’ll give it a shot :smiley:

Update: that didn’t work - I’m still given the same error after remixing the project and moving the token over.

Can I see your package.json file?

Try removing any node modules from the dependencies list that you’re not using. Also, remove node.js, since that’s not needed

That solved it! For anyone with the same problem - I removed both “node-opus”: “^0.3.2” & “node.js”: “0.0.0” and it came back to life

Thank you for the help :smiley:

No problem, glad it works now!

Having this in your dependencies can cause installs to fail, that’s why it wasn’t working most likely. you don’t need to list node.js for npm/pnpm to read as a dependency
