Error: Cannot find module '/src' when running 'src/'-CodePudding

I try to start the src/ folder with node (node src/) or nodemon (npm start) to start the three .js files in that path and strangely it does not find the src/ folder

I clarify that the files start perfectly when started separately

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon src/"
}

I find it very strange since I start all my projects in the same way and I have never had this problem before.

teyrox@teyrox:~/project$ npm start
...
[nodemon] starting `node src/`

  ^

And yes, I run these commands from the / path of the project

EDIT: My main property in package.json is src/, I tried changing it to src/server.js but it did not work.

CodePudding user response：

Can you replace scripts inside package.json

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon src/server.js"
  }

CodePudding user response：

I changed the name of the server.js file to index.js and it works normally.

Apparently, when starting a directory node looks for index.js by default.
