Error: Cannot find module "PROJECT_FOLDER\node_modules\hasura-cli\dist\index.js"

Question

I kept getting this error when I tried to run yarn add hasura-cli -D:

Output:
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1146
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'PROJECT_FOLDER\node_modules\hasura-cli\dist\index.js'

}

Node.js v20.12.0

As I use NVM for managing node versions, I've tried both node 18 and 20. I've also tried to install hasura-cli globally, but received the same error.

Answer 1

Looks like the maintainers of the package have a build error which means the dist folder is not being placed into the NPM package.

The solution is to roll back to a version that has been built correctly, 2.36.1 for example:

npm install [email protected].
