access filesystem

[MichaelTomTom]

Hello,
I change an existing module (MMM-EasyPix) for my needs and therefor need to know all files in a directory. But when I insert a

const fs = require( 'fs');

at the beginning of the code so I could call

fs.readdirSync()

the whole module seems to crash
Where is the error??

Thanx for any help

Hi,

I have the same problem. Someone has an idea?

@MichaelTomTom @Leobaillard Is it possible fs is already defined (as a constant)? Are you getting any error messages in the logs?

As it turns out, I didn’t read enough: I had to use the node_helper to access the filesystem. Sorry for digging out the thread.
