We are using version 12.18.0 of node.js with CICS 5.5 on z/OS V2R3

Can anyone help me ? Thanks in advance. Thank you

Can you describe the sequence of events ahead of running npm start, and in particular if you had any errors when running npm install to resolve dependencies.

Hello,

Sorry for this late response.

I cloned the repository on my Windows 10 PC then I launched followed as described the procedure and launched the npm install always on Windows without any error message.

Then, from IDz I transferred the entire project to USS.

Here is what I find in the directories :

../cics-nodejs-invoke/projects/cics-nodejs-invoke/node_modules/form-data/lib>
browser.js
form_data.js
populate.js

In the error message it is the 'form-data' module that is sought.

But in the folder I found form_data.js and renaming the file to form-data.js doesn't change anything.

Best regards

Hello,

What's new with my problem ?

Initially I launched the npm install from my Windows workstation in order to recover all the dependencies... since the Z is not connected to the Internet.

In doing so, all the package.json files contained references to the disk locations of my Windows machine. So I launched a FIND AND REPALCE script in order to adjust these files with the project locations under USS.

But it still fails and I don't know why.

Does somebody have an idea ?
