https://github.com/OWASP/samm/blob/master/Supporting%20Resources/app/server/router/index.router.js#L3 seems to be this import. I don't see it in the package.json, not sure if it's been globally installed on the dev system. Seems to match https://www.npmjs.com/package/q based on usage. I'd suggest maybe an npm install --save q from within the server directory might fix this issue. Going forward, probably a PR with an updated package.json to commit the fix.

Hi,

I'd suggest maybe an npm install --save q from within the server directory might fix this issue <- not working I also try npm install within /server catalog <- not working

Maybe instruction is not precisious?

my steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/owaspsamm/dashboard-webapp.git
2. navigate to /server directory and open command prompt and run the command: npm install npm install nodemon After installation, run the command: npm start (Do not close this terminal)
3. navigate to /server2 directory and open command prompt and run the command: npm install npm install nodemon After installation, run the command: npm start (Do not close this terminal)
4. to run the angular app, go to the parent directory /SAMM and run npm install -> ng serve in cmd. (Do not close this terminal)

I'm not sure the project's history or where it lived before here. When I tried installing q, it changed to failing on the async package. So I ran an npm install --save async as well. That got me past the dependency errors. I didn't set up the DB, so that failed, but... Can you confirm? I ran it with an npm start after.

[lwojgithub]

No, I got:

server@1.0.0 start /opt/samm/Supporting Resources/app/server node server.js

what NodeJS / npm version are you using?

[mgillam]

I have node v14.15.4 and npm v7.5.3 .. but there were some package warnings as well, node v12.x would probably be a better choice in the near term if it can be made to work.

[mgillam]

I also cloned it from this repo, and from your directory structure it looks like you cloned from https://github.com/OWASP/samm.git So I did a fresh clone of that repo. Then did the following: npm install npm start -- failed on module Q npm install --save q npm start -- failed on module async npm install --save async npm start -- worked up to DB error.

Then I reset by restoring the package.json and package-lock.json and rm -rf the node_modules, and repeated the steps on node 12, and that worked the same for me.

[lwojgithub]

did you run these commands in the / server directory ?

[mgillam]

Yeah, that's correct. I ran them in /server.

Hi, have the same problem with module Q, tried:

So I did a fresh clone of that repo. Then did the following in /dashboard-webapp/server:
npm install
npm start -- failed on module Q
npm install --save q
npm start 

but there is still "Error: Cannot find module 'Q'". Any thoughts on what else to try? thx

[lwojgithub]

cd node_modules

ln -s q Q

cd ../models

ln -s User.js user.js

I'm getting exactly same error. do we have any solution for this? @mgillam @lwojgithub @dkefer

[mgillam]

To be clear, I'm not a maintainer of this project. I have verified that it's behaving the same way for me today as it was on Feb 17. Which is to be expected, since I hadn't set up the Db, and still haven't. The I believe the Error connecting to Db message is correct behavior for my context.

[satyendra22]

@mgillam thx for quick reply , did u fixed the issue as you mentioned because currently I'm getting exactly same issue.

Hi @satyendra22 comments: https://github.com/owaspsamm/dashboard-webapp/issues/1#issuecomment-780900118 and https://github.com/owaspsamm/dashboard-webapp/issues/1#issuecomment-875340098

helped me to fix that issue.

P.S. conection to Db looks fine too.

saw a few issues on npm imports/requires for the server package Q was one of them, async missing was another one. I would expect that you would want to correct case on the requires vs having to give a symlink from Q -> q. Other module import case sensitivity seen on requiring ../models/users when the file name is in caps so should be ../models/Users(?) or renaming the file to lowercase...
