Again "json-server module not found" #1500

Drachenfels · 2024-01-24T16:49:41Z

I am trying to follow one older tutorial: https://www.journeytoawebapp.com/posts/local-mock-server-with-node

Fresh repository I copy-pasted the code:

const jsonServer = require('json-server');
const server = jsonServer.create();
const middlewares = jsonServer.defaults();
const accounts = require('./responses/accounts/accounts');

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3001;

server.use(middlewares);

server.get('/accounts', (req, res) => {
    res.jsonp(accounts);
})

server.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:' + PORT);
})

I did npm install json-server and I have this:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "json-server": "^1.0.0-alpha.22"
  }
}

But when I try to run the code with node server.js:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1147
  throw err;
  ^

I have a similar error.
Today I was trying to use json-server-auth, but end up with the error message.

Let me put the error first:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1147
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'json-server'

    '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/json-server-auth/dist/bin.js'
  ]
}

Node.js v20.11.0

In my project, I use npm init to create package.json

then use npm install -D json-server json-server-auth to create node_modules, package-lock.json

and then create db.json file in my project

and use sudo npm install -g json-server-auth ,

then I finally use json-server-auth db.json, but it doesn't start the server,
showed the Error: Cannot find module 'json-server'

package.json code

{
  "name": "vue-hangout-server",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "json-server": "^1.0.0-alpha.22"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.18.2",
    "json-server-auth": "^2.1.0"
  }
}

I'm sure I install the latest version json-server and json-server-auth,

How can I make sure it finds module 'json-server'?

syukronarie · 2024-01-27T02:28:43Z

Looks like there is an issue in alpha version.

I can able to run normally using json-server@^0.17.3

filipopo · 2024-02-08T00:03:19Z

Can confirm, it works on 0.17.4 but not on the latest release

ritheesh4 · 2024-03-11T10:44:00Z

This issue exists for me also.

sjaelselement · 2024-03-13T02:31:00Z

Да, проблема в версии. npm i [email protected] - решение

PaperPesto · 2024-03-13T17:10:07Z

Confirm, doesn't work with version 1.0.0-alpha.23

ritheesh4 · 2024-03-14T05:41:18Z

Correct. This issue is existing with the latest version. It does not there in "0.16.3".

lbombassei · 2024-03-15T20:54:00Z

Any ETA on fixing? It's great to have paging and sorting already done by json-server

Tool feels to be if not abandoned then not under active development. So probably would need forking or something.

Denver-Ning · 2024-04-11T02:34:08Z

doesn't work with version "^1.0.0-alpha.23", I use "0.17.4" version is OK

MedvidekPu · 2024-05-07T20:51:03Z

Looks like there is an issue in alpha version.

I can able to run normally using json-server@^0.17.3

just spent 3 hours debugging this just to find out it was the version issue. Thank you so much for the answer

prasannabiswas · 2024-05-12T13:45:30Z

It happened with me also, it works properly with json-server@^0.17.4 and before versions but not on alpha versions. So i would recommend to use json-server@^0.17.4 versions

PouryaSoleimani · 2024-05-30T14:52:59Z

I'm also having exactly the same Issue , Should we just Downgrade our json-server-auth ? whould it be enough to solve the problem????

PouryaSoleimani · 2024-05-30T14:56:07Z

What about my json-server-auth ? which version of it should i install ??

prasannabiswas · 2024-05-30T16:00:38Z

Yes downgrade and use json-server@^0.17.4 versions. It will work absolutely without any problem with node

PouryaSoleimani · 2024-05-31T11:31:06Z

Thanks a lot @prasannabiswas , I did it and the problem is solved 😊

Yusei-0 · 2024-07-29T23:45:37Z

the solution is install the version "json-server": "^0.17.3", using pnpm i json-server@^0.17.3 or npm

miral-zymr · 2024-08-07T13:48:03Z

Confirming, it doesn't work with v^1.0.0-beta.1 as well.

TrungHieu0811 · 2024-09-03T15:02:47Z

Confirming, it doesn't work with v^1.0.0-beta.2 as well.

CaioRodriguez · 2024-12-27T12:46:44Z

Version 1.0.0-beta.3 doesn't work either. After changing to 0.17.4v, it worked

iwoodruff · 2025-01-09T18:38:39Z

echoing the others, 1.0.0-beta.3 is still broken. 0.17.4 is the way
