ENOENT, no such file or directory

Question

I\'m getting this error from my node app:

ENOENT, no such file or directory \'~/Desktop/MyApp/newversion/partials/navigation.jade\'

I know

Answer 1

I had that issue : use path module

const path = require('path');

and also do not forget to create the uploads directory first period.

Answer 2

I was also plagued by this error, and after trying all the other answers, magically found the following solution:

Delete package-lock.json and the node_modules folder, then run npm install again.

If that doesn't work, try running these in order:

npm install
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g npm
npm install

(taken from @Thisuri's answer and @Mathias Falci's comment respectively)

and then re-deleting the above files and re-running npm install.

Worked for me!

Answer 3

Specifically, rm yarn.lock and then yarn install fixed this for me.

Answer 4

Tilde expansion is a shell thing. Write the proper pathname (probably /home/yourusername/Desktop/etcetcetc) or use
process.env.HOME + '/Desktop/blahblahblah'

Answer 5

I believe the previous answer is the correct answer to this problem but I was getting this error when I tried installing npm package (see below) :

The fix for me was : npm init --yes
