为什么不能使用Node.js中的http服务器运行本地服务器？

Question

Here is an image of the node_modules folder with all the packages. I am trying to run a local server to make some basic request to interact with my mobile app im developing. I seem to have all the correct packages/dependencies installed yet I can't get the server to run. When I try to run "node http-server" on the command line it keeps outputting this error

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:583
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module './lib/colors'

I have installed and reinstalled nodejs about three times to no avail. And I have that colors module install in the node_modules folder yet im getting a message saying it cannot find it? Can anyone help point me in the right direction to getting the server working correctly?

Answer 1

I figured out the dilemma. I had about 6 or 7 incomplete packages so the solution was to delete each of these packages, including the colors package, and install them again. As someone who spent over 4 hours looking for an answer, I advise you to make sure all your packages are updated, complete, and if possible in the same folder for better management!

Answer 2

This problem does not relate to node_modules . It looks like a script in internal/modules/cjs/loader.js is require internal/modules/cjs/lib/colors.js

You should check file internal/modules/cjs/lib/colors.js already exist?
