Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' } js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

Question

I am getting the below error:

{ [Error: Cannot find module \'../build/Release/bson\'] code: \'MODULE_NOT_FOUND\' } 
  js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extens         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me:

Go to the file (in your project):

node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson/ext/index.js

and change:

bson = require('../build/Release/bson');

to:

bson = require('bson');
