Node saying sh: 1: main.js: not found when main.js is there

Time:02-14

As the title says, node cannot find main.js. I am doing this through replit and my .replit file is run = "npm test". My package.json file is

{
  "name": "Adventure",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "This is The Adventure Bot By BrainDead_Dev",
  "main": "main.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "@replit/database": "^2.0.1",
    "discord-buttons": "^4.0.0-deprecated",
    "discord.js": "^13.6.0",
    "moment": "^2.29.1",
    "winston": "^3.6.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {},
  "scripts": {
    "test": "main.js"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git https://github.com/BrainDeadDev/Adventure.git"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://github.com/BrainDeadDev/Adventure/issues"
  },
  "homepage": "https://github.com/BrainDeadDev/Adventure#readme"
}

This is for a discord bot, and it has been working perfectly fine up until the point where I wanted to update discord.js and had to reinstall npm. Any help would be appreciated as I am quite lost.

CodePudding user response:

When you updated the discord.js package, it now requires a more current version of node js (v16.6).

To update to the version of node using npm simply run:

npm install -g n

If you are using nvm you can do:

nvm install 16.6

then tell nvm to use the new version:

nvm use 16.6

Then you can check the version you are using by running:

node --version

Edit for Repl.it:

following this blog, you should be able to do it by running this:

npm i --save-dev node@16 && npm config set prefix=$(pwd)/node_modules/node && export PATH=$(pwd)/node_modules/node/bin:$PATH

You can also try following this question on repl.it forums
