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

I've tried bson = require('../browser_build/bson'); but end up running into another error

Cannot set property 'BSON_BINARY_SUBTYPE_DEFAULT' of undefined

Finally I fixed this issue simply by npm update, this will fix the bson module in mongoose.
