Hello,

I know that the question as been posted many times already but I'm having trouble deploying my code (https://github.com/yukinoe/kizabot) either on Heroku or Redhat Openshift Online. I have the same error message even if "./dnssec" module is in the node_modules folder.

Anyone has an idea ?

Thanks for the help.


Solution

  • You're importing via a relative path, so you need to make sure that dnssec.js exists next to whomever is doing the importing (perhaps index.js in your case).

    So your hierarchy needs to look a bit like this:

    ./src
       index.js
       dnssec.js
    

    node_modules doesn't fit into this one, since imports from there shouldn't be relative.
