Error: Cannot find module 'cson'

[balupton]

Hey Isaac,

So I've published my module buildr which uses another one of my modules called cson, but when I try to run buildr I get Error: Cannot find module 'cson'. Here is the full log. This really has me scratching my head... :/

$ node -v v0.4.9 $ npm -v 1.0.15 $ npm -g install buildr /usr/local/bin/buildr -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/buildr/bin/buildr.coffee buildr@0.4.4 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/buildr ├── bal-util@0.4.0 ├── cson@0.1.1 ├── coffee-script@1.1.1 └── less@1.1.2 $ buildr Error: Cannot find module 'cson' at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:317:11) at Function._load (module.js:262:25) at require (module.js:346:19) at Object.

This is a coffee-script bug. Looks like it doesn't use node's module lookup when you use the "coffee" command.

@jashkenas?

npm explore -g buildr
node
> require("coffee-script"); require("cson")
{ parseFile: [Function], parse: [Function], stringify: [Function] }

$ coffee
coffee> require("cson")

Thanks @isaacs - I reposted on the coffee-script issues here https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/1485

This is a really weird error I keep getting. Been digging around google trying to find a solution, but can't find one. I did a global install for cson and when I run node and attempt to import the cson module with require(), I get an error.

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename: xenial

I did a fresh install of the latest stable versions for node and npm and updated npm afterwards. I then ran the following commands.

$ node --version
v6.10.3
$ npm --version
4.5.0
$ sudo npm install --save -g cson
/usr/bin/cson2json -> /usr/lib/node_modules/cson/bin/cson2json
/usr/bin/json2cson -> /usr/lib/node_modules/cson/bin/json2cson
/usr/lib

  └─┬ safefs@4.1.0

When I went to test out if I could import the cson module, I got this output.

$ node
> var CSON = require('cson');
Error: Cannot find module 'cson'

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind, I am still new to using node. Not sure if this is a config issue on my end or if it has to do with cson. I posted there too.
