Getting strange error using UUID npm module. What am I doing wrong?

Question

Getting "Error: Package exports for 'D:\test\node_modules\uuid' do not define a '.' subpath" all the time when I require it.

OS - Windows 10 Pro
Node version - v13.1.0
NPM version - 6.14.4

I created a project from scratch and run npm init -y to create initial package.json
Then I installed uuid by running npm install uuid and created index.js with nothing but only

const { v4: uuidv4 } = require('uuid');
uuidv4();

from their example

But whenever I try to run this code node ./index.js I always get this error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:488
    throw e;
    ^

}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Have you been able to resolve the issue?

I'm getting the same result but the only change I made is go from uuid v7.0.3 to v8.0.0. node didn't change, it's v14.1.0 which works with uuid v7.0.3.

I created an issue for it https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/issues/444

Answer 2

I know that Nodejs version v13 had some issues with this. I tried with v12.16.3 and it's working. Either use latest v14.2.0 or official LTS v12.16.3
