Having a lot of 'Module not found' errors for react project

Question

I was building my application no problem and all of a sudden I had a problem concerning all these modules not found. It is important to note that I am using react-rewired to handle webpack v5 and the polyfill issue.

Also, adding

"browser": { "fs": false, "path": false, "os": false, "child_process": false },

to my package.json file doesn't seem to work.

Here is the exact error I'm getting, any solution would be great. Compiled with problems:X

Answer 1

Seems like you don't have node_modules folder content.

Open console in root of your project and type:

npm install
