How can I fix this error ? Express NodeJS cannot find module ./response-CodePudding

When I run the code

$ npm start

this shows up,

> assignment3@1.0.0 start

I Tried to search in node_modules/express/lib/express.js i saw that there's no file for

./response response.js

and don't know where to begin the fix, should i just re-install the node_modules or maybe you have some insights to fix this kind of error, hope you help me guys

Thanks!

Additional Codes of information please see my GITHUB

CodePudding user response：

You should try reinstalling express:

rm -rf node_modules && npm i

This is so because it seems Express does have the response file over here: https://github.com/expressjs/express/blob/master/lib/response.js.

P.S.: Making a post since I can't comment.
