Any help here @George?

Moving this to bugs.

I just created a brand new project with Docker + Node as the environment. I then try to run index.js and I got an error that dotenv couldn’t be found.

So I googled this, went to install dotenv with npm and I get this error even with a Doker Node environment:

If I try to run index.js file from within the project, this is the error I get:

  throw err;

I am also running an M1 mac, and have not found any issue, I will admit I manually downloaded NodeJS LTS from their website, and I also manually downloaded Docker Desktop for Mac, both installed before I installed Wappler.

I run multiple dockers both local and remote with digital ocean.

#5

Thanks @psweb - just to make sure I did then go and download the very latest NodeJS (albeit not LTS) from the website, and Docker Desktop was downloaded manually too. LTS I don’t believe supports Silicon natively, whereas latest (16+ does) which is the reason I went for this version.

What’s odd is that the issue is impacting both local non-docker environment, as well as a local docker environment.

I do notice that the modules folder is not actually created for any of these test projects I’m setting up to get to the bottom of this - but the module that is not found is within the package.json file

#6

ERR! sharp Prebuilt libvips 8.10.0 binaries are not yet available for darwin-arm64v8

As some global libraries are not available out of the box for Mac ARM64 M1, you will have to install them manually. So open a terminal and execute:

brew install vips

Then restart Wappler and try again

#7

Thank you @George (and cakeday)

I ran this - it took a while but it updated everything correctly without errors.

Then I try to initiate the index.js file again and I still get the same error:

mattgibbs@Matts-Mac-mini nftthree % node index.js
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'dotenv'

    '/Users/mattgibbs/Documents/Wappler/nftthree/index.js'

}

And there are no modules in the module folder. Any ideas?

#8

Out of interest even on NodeJs v14.17.3 the Mac Mini M1 I am using runs so fast on the M1 version of Wappler, wonder how much of an improvement i will see again when i get Node updated to the M1 version

#9

Cannot find module ‘dotenv’

This is just missing node module dotenv- are you sure it is listed in your package.json ?

It should be there, and be auto installed when node components are installed. There is also an option in the toolbar to install the node modules.

if not just execute:

npm install dotenv

In your project folder.
