  1. POGetting an error when running the basic Express project
    text
    copied!<p>I'm messing around with Node.js for the first time and decided to create a simple application using express. I followed the instructions from <a href="https://github.com/visionmedia/express" rel="noreferrer">github</a> in an empty directory like so:</p> <pre><code>npm install -g express express npm install -d node app.js </code></pre> <p>When navigating to <code>localhost:3000</code> I get the follow error:</p> <pre><code>Express 500 Error: Cannot find module './lib/jade' at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:332:11) at Function._load (module.js:279:25) at Module.require (module.js:354:17) at require (module.js:370:17) at Object. (C:\dev\gravity_kata\node_modules\jade\index.js:4:5) at Module._compile (module.js:441:26) at Object..js (module.js:459:10) at Module.load (module.js:348:31) at Function._load (module.js:308:12) at Module.require (module.js:354:17) </code></pre> <p>When looking under <code>node_modules\jade\lib</code> I see all of Jade's library files, but no <code>jade</code> folder. So I created a folder under lib called jade and moved the library files there and now my default application works.</p> <p>Now, seeing as I have nearly no experience with Node.js and Express I'm pretty sure I did something wrong. Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>I dove into the Jade code. Under Jade's index.js file it requires <code>lib\jade</code> and looking under the lib folder, there was no <code>jade.js</code> file. Well, that is the problem, but why is the jade.js file missing? When pulling the Jade <a href="http://search.npmjs.org/#/jade" rel="noreferrer">source</a> from npm, there is a jade.js file under the lib directory. I copied the lib folder from the downloaded source into the Jade module for my project and it works fine now.</p> <p>So for some reason, npm isn't pulling down the jade.js file. The version in the <code>packages.json</code> file match the source i pulled down, <code>0.21.0</code>. Anybody have an idea on why this happened?</p>
