I'm developing an application in Vue, also using the x-ray-scraper library, but when I try to run npm run serve in the console to view the application locally I get the following error:
This dependency was not found:
* _http_common in ./node_modules/http-outgoing/index.js
To install it, you can run: npm install --save _http_common
Then I tried to run the command npm install --save _http_common and again I get an error:
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for undefined@_http_common.
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.
Without the x-ray-scraper library, everything starts up fine, but if I include it in my project, errors appear.
Perhaps the error is related to the version, but I don't understand how to fix it.
My package.json looks like:
{
"name": "pc-components",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"serve": "vue-cli-service serve",
"build": "vue-cli-service build"
},
"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.21.0",
"cheerio": "^1.0.0-rc.3",
"core-js": "^3.6.5",
"dns": "^0.2.2",
"phantom": "^6.3.0",
"selenium-webdriver": "^4.0.0-alpha.8",
"vue": "^2.6.11",
"webpage": "^0.3.0",
"x-ray-scraper": "^3.0.6"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@vue/cli-plugin-babel": "~4.5.0",
"@vue/cli-service": "~4.5.0",
"vue-template-compiler": "^2.6.11"
}
}
Thanks for any help.
The issue has nothing to do with the import statement, nor are there any issue with the dependencies you have installed.
This is my test:
Then:
const x = require("x-ray-scraper");
x('google.com', 'title')
.then((title) => {
console.log(title); // Google
});
// logs Google
You need a simple backend, even a couple of lines long, in order to initiate the service and use the package.
You can use whatever you like in the front-end, Vue, React, etc.
You do not need any extra dependencies at all from what you already have.
