Error: Cannot find module 'obuf'

[barbalex]

When I run npm start in my project on my new developer PC I get this error:

PS C:\Users\alexa\ae2> npm start

> [email protected] start C:\Users\alexa\ae2
> node scripts/start.js

module.js:487
    throw err;
    ^

It seems that spdy-transport causes this?

The PC runs:

• Windows 10
• node v8.1.2

This error does not occur on my old Windows 10 PC and my macOS running sierra.

I wanted to get around this problem so ran:

PS C:\Users\alexa\ae2> npm i --save-dev obuf
+ [email protected]
added 1 package in 2.467s

The next npm start produced:

PS C:\Users\alexa\ae2> npm start

> [email protected] start C:\Users\alexa\ae2
> node scripts/start.js

module.js:487
    throw err;
    ^

It then goes on with hpack.js.

Seems like all dependencies are missing: https://github.com/spdy-http2/spdy-transport/blob/master/package.json#L19-L25
