So this is lately one of the most popular issues in discord.js community. Appears after updating to d.js v13.7.0 and higher. While it works perfectly on a PC or etc., it fails to run on Heroku hosting with the following message:

Error: Cannot find module '../Modal'

This is clear that the issue is on Heroku's side, because Modal file can be found in discord.js dependency folder in node_modules.

I have NodeJS v18.3.0, have tried reinstalling discord.js with multiple methods, nothing helped.

I wasn't able to find any solutions to the problem, have anyone over here found the solution?

Well personally i would recommend for you to add a .gitignore file. As the file will probably help in deploying the bot itself. Now as for the cannot find ../Modal means either you defined a package to that exact path or you defined it wrongly. If you want to define something In node modules you could do ./node_modules/files/to/somewhere/new <---//If the node_modules is in another folder add ../ and so on, and it should automatically pop up in your screen if your using vs. As for the Discord.js version, it is true what you say about the Heroku error, you could try using an old version like v13.1.0 and so on to probably fix the problem, but just for your information Discord.jsv14 is coming out soon so you should start rewriting your bot when possible. I hope something helped you from above.

.gitignore Instructions

1. Create a .gitignore file.
2. Inside the file, on the first line input node_modules or ./node_modules and so on if in a subdirectory
3. Clear cache from data that contains the folder node_modules
4. Make sure to have a dotenv file to execute your secrets

Im pretty sure that you didn't create a file called .gitignore because it shows that your problem is on the folders '../Modal', Before deploying it to heroku, you should ignore the 2 files on your project.

1. node_modules
2. .env (if you have)

To remove these 2 on your deploying, create a file on your main folder named .gitignore and right down the following:

node_modules
.env
