Module not found [Solved]

[trixrforchris]

Hi all,

I came across this strange behaviour where some of my installed modules would return an error ;

- /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/default_app.asar/main.js
- 
    at Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:887:15)
    at Function.n._resolveFilename (electron/js2c/browser_init.js:257:1128)
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/module-alias/index.js:49:29)
    at Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:732:27)
    at Function.f._load (electron/js2c/asar_bundle.js:5:12913)
    at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:959:19)
    at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:88:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2/node_helper.js:4:17)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1078:30)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1108:10) {
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: [
    '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt2/node_helper.js',
    '/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js',
    '/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/electron.js',
    '/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/default_app.asar/main.js',
    undefined

I tried re-installing the module, updating nodejs, and even re-installing MM & OS (Raspbian bullseye). Nothing seemed to fix the issue, then i came across this Github Issue and joekaiser solved it!

• You just need to add Request to the dependencies. In the MMM-CalendarExt2 folder, run npm i request

Thanks everyone! Hopefully this helps someone else too.

@trixrforchris yes, or follow this pinned topic , and look a little higher in the output for the library name

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

which will update package.json , the link also shows how to CREATE the package.json for those modules that didn’t supply one
