Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/scrypt'

Question

I try to learn a little bit js and solidity right know and bought a udemy course. My bad. The guy who made it let the course outdated and there is no longer a support or someone who answere questions...

Anyway when I try to test with mocha my code I get this error:

Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/scrypt'

The Errorlog:

Thats the code:

const assert = require('assert');
const ganache = require ('ganache-cli');
const Web3 = require('web3');

const web3 = Web3(ganache.provider);


class Car {
    park() {
        return 'stopped';
    }
    drive() {
        return 'vroom';
    
    }
}

describe('CarTest (just a string)', ()=> {
    it('can park (just a string)',() =>{
        const car = new Car();
        assert.equal(car.park(), 'stopped');
    });
});

Yeah Im new with js and solidity so I have no clue... Hope someone can help.

This error can be resolved easily. Go to node_modules/scrypt/tests/index.js or if the tests folder not present then just search of index.js in node_module/scrypt folder And there change this line var scryptNative = require(“./build/Release/scrypt”) to this line var scryptNative = require("scrypt") . And boom. I hope this will definitely helps you.
One More Suggestion you are missing Parenthesis in your tests.js file after .provider

. use this line const web3 = new Web3(ganache.provider());
