TypeError: root path required

I would like to know how to fix this error. Thanks

---

var nodeModulesDir = process.env.NODE_MODULES_DIR,

app.use(express.static(publicDir));
app.use("/node_modules", express.static(nodeModulesDir)); // ERROR AT THIS LINE
app.post("/uploads", onUpload);
app.delete("/uploads/:uuid", onDeleteFile);

Answer 1

Tryout this way

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

i mean use __dirname for get from main root path .

Answer 2

modify .bash_profile add export NODE_MODULES_DIR=GGGGGGGGGGG

BTW, Don't forget restart the server!
