Can't find module inside of my folder (discord.js)

As said in the title, I am using discord.js.
Shown below is the error I receive from my console when I try to run npm run start.
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:922
throw err;

Error: Cannot find module './src/commands/clear.js'

}
A screenshot of the console will look like this:

Here is the block of code with the problem:
const clear = require("./src/commands/clear.js");
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync("./src/commands/").filter((file) => file.endsWith(".js"));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const command = require(`./src/commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}
The part with the problem is const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./src/commands/').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));. It keeps saying that the module for ./src/commands/ can't be found.

No matter how much I tweak my code I still receive this error any ideas why?

Your error is in Bot.js file . that is in src directory.
then import should be require('./commands/clear.js') rather then require('./src/commands/clear.js').
Check directory tree.

instead of using fs.readdirSync('./src/commands/')
#Dario suggested using fs.readdirSync(__dirname+"/src/commands/"), but that still did not work. So I tweaked the code and fs.readdirSync(__dirname+"/commands/") ended up being the solution.

Module not found unless I use a complete path when creating plugins in Hapi

I'm trying to familiarise myself with HapiJS and have been playing around with it this week, I've run into a problem with plugins and paths. I get an error regarding the path I specify when I require a file. I can't use " ./ " without getting an error. The only way to overcome the error is to use the full complete path.
Here's my code that works:
'use strict';
const indexController = require('/Users/mylaptop/docker-node/controllers/IndexController.js');
module.exports.plugin = {
name: 'myPlugin',
version: '1.0.0',
register: async function (server, options) {
// Create a route for example
server.route({
method:'GET',
path:'/test',
handler: function (request, h) {
return indexController.loadIndex(h);
}
});
}
};
However, if I try to require my IndexController file this way:
const indexController = require('./controllers/IndexController.js');
Then I get this error:
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:583
throw err;
^

at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:530:3)
It doesn't work inside of my plugin, yet outside of my plugin, requiring files this way works fine.
What could be the problem? How can I solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved with:
const indexController = require('../../controllers/IndexController.js');
My project root folder was 2 directories away, hence ../../ working for me.

Unexpected token ILLEGAL while running node.js mocha test

I have searched all over but have not figured out what I am doing wrong. I am trying to set up mocha for testing node.js javascript application files. I have node installed and have successfully ran basic things on it to confirm it is working.
I installed mocha in my project file, and also have a Makefile and a file called "test" within my project file as well.
Here is the error my terminal(osx 10) is spitting out when I run the command "make test".

test('sell should add a SELL nockmarket order', function(done) {
exchangeData = exchange.sell(41, 200, exchangeData);
exchangeData.sells.volumes['41'].should.eql(200); //this is line 22
done();
});

test('sell should produce trades', function(done) {
exchangeData = exchange.sell(40, 75, exchangeData);
exchangeData.trades[0].price.should.eql(40);

There are some invalid characters in your code, if you used proper text editor, you'd see them. The line numbering is a bit off, but this is clearly the cause.
Here's a screenshot from Sublime Text:
It's \uFFFC, more info here.
Just delete them (they can't be seen, so delete all from the semicolon to the next test().

Reading files name that begin with DOT "."

i have this simple nodeJS script for reading files from a PATH and check if they are directory or not :
var fs = require("fs");
var allFiles = fs.readdirSync(__dirname + '/bb');
allFiles.forEach(function(name){
if(fs.lstatSync(name).isDirectory())
{
console.log(name);
}
});
The problem is when I check if the file is DIRECTORY .isDirectory() and the file begins with a DOT "."
fs.js:679
return binding.lstat(pathModule._makeLong(path));

If I don't check if DIRECTORY or the file name don't begin with a DOT "." it works just fine.
OS : Windows 7

You are calling .lstatSync with the wrong path.
Try path.join instead to create the correct path.
The snippet should look like
var fs = require("fs");
var allFiles = fs.readdirSync(__dirname + '/bb');
allFiles.forEach(function(name){
if(fs.lstatSync(path.join("bb",name)/*Correct path*/).isDirectory())
{
console.log(name);
}
});

How do I get html-snapshots to work?

I'm just trying to run html-snapshots. This should be easy, right?
This is what I started with:
npm install html-snapshots
That's all I need, right? Here's my snapshots.js file:
var htmlSnapshots = require('html-snapshots');
htmlSnapshots.run({
source: "sitemap.xml",
hostname: "localhost",
outputDir: "snapshots",
outputDirClean: true,
selector: "#results-widget"
});
And to run it:
node snapshots.js
But nooo:
module.js:340
throw err;

Error: Cannot find module '.\robots'

wtf?
Additional Info...
This is part of html-snapshots.js:
var inputFactory = require("./input-generators");
...
run: function(options, listener) {
...
var inputGenerator = inputFactory.create(options.input);
...
result = inputGenerator.run(options, (function(options, notifier){
Also, the html-snapshots\lib\input-generators folder contains the file robots.js

It looks like an issue inside html-snapshots\lib\input-generators\index.js file - it works fine on Linux systems but fails on Windows (path.sep has been used to build module name)
Problem is that it should load './robots' module instead of '.\robots'.
Quick fix is to update html-snapshots\lib\input-generators\index.js file - line 38.
Change line:
result = require(file);
to:
result = require(path.join(__dirname, file));
And it will work fine. I hope that will help.
