I’m using npm install in a NodeJS environment, but it fails because it can’t find the ‘semver’ package. For instance:
Error: Cannot locate module 'semver'
at ModuleFinder.locate (lookup.js:102:11)
at require (lookup.js:57:7)
at initApp (startup.js:22:5)
hey i had this exact issue. i solved it by deleting my node_modules folder, clearing the cache (npm cache clean --force) and reinstalling. mayb also updte npm itself if needed. hope this helps!
I encountered a similar issue recently and found that it was related to a misconfigured package-lock file. In my case, I removed the package-lock.json file and then reinstalled all modules with a fresh npm install, which resolved the missing module error. I also verified that my Node.js version was in line with the project requirements. This approach differs slightly from cleaning the cache as it ensures that the installation is rebuilt from scratch without any prior locking constraints.
I encountered a similar error while working on a project, and my solution was to explicitly install the semver package as a dependency, which helped resolve the issue. I used the command npm install semver --save. Before that, I verified that my package.json did not have conflicting versions and was correctly configured. After ensuring the project settings were accurate, I cleared the node_modules folder and the cache, then performed a full install. This method helped ensure that npm properly recognized all necessary modules and fixed the semver error.
hey try npm isntall semver directly. i once faced a similar snafu, and reinstalling the lib device cleared it up. also peek in your package.json too, sometimes a mistyp isnt thrown. hope this helps!
