Error: Cannot find module 'babel-register'

Question

I am currently working on a projects that involves making an oracle connecting to an express back-end. The environment was already implemented and pushed to a repository on github. I cloned the project and ran npm install to get all the packages needed for the project. Then I tried to run the project and got this error:

module.js:550
   throw err;
   ^

[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

I then proceeded npm install babel-register thinking maybe the package made it into the gitignore. After the package was installed, I tried to run the project once more and continued to get the same error.

Answer 1

I have resolved this issue myself, it was actually an issue with package-lock file being out of sync with the package file. I deleted the package-lock file and npm installed. This then allowed my project to run correctly.
