Cannot find module "balanced-match"

[rmercer33]

I cloned the repository, created secrets.json, did npm install and ran $ grunt, it failed with this message:

Loading "Gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR
>> Error: Cannot find module 'balanced-match'
Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Thanks for helping!

Hey @rmercer33 - Can you provide these details:

• Operating System Information
• Node Version
• NPM Version
• Were there issues / errors specific to the npm install process? (It looks like all the modules may not have loaded)

Maybe try removing node_modules and rm -rf node_modules from your project directory and then reinstall npm install?

Hi Taeo,

Thanks for your help.

I'm using Mac OS 10.14.2 Node: 8.10.0 npm: 6.5.0

There were no errors during install but there were many vulnerabilities, 37 high and 2 critical. On my first install I ran npm audit fix to fix them.

I just started over, deleted everything and re cloned the repository, ran npm install and this time I DID NOT run npm audit fix. Re-created secrets.json (forgot to back it up first).

Running grunt resulted in the same error.

master* grunt
Loading "Gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR
>> Error: Unable to read "secrets.json" file (Error code: ENOENT).
Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Thanks again.

Looks like npm audit fix was the culprit the first go round. I've created task https://github.com/leemunroe/grunt-email-workflow/issues/103 to track the vulnerabilities.

Second go round, your error says >> Error: Unable to read "secrets.json" file (Error code: ENOENT).. You'll notice below I had the same error and ran echo "{}" >> secrets.json, then grunt ran as expected.

Here's my full output on Mac running node 8.10.0 and npm 6.5.0

Oh man, thanks Taeo. I didn't even notice the error message was different. I had a file called 'secret.json' - singular. I changed that and it's working fine.

The 'npm audit fix' was the problem.

Thank you!!
