Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'PouchDB'

[aralroca]

OS?

Linux (Amazon Linux AMI)

Versions.

Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.22-1
node: 6.6.0
os: linux x64

Repro steps.

I installed recently PouchDB:

npm i pouchdb --save
npm i @types/pouchdb --save-dev

I added this in typings.d.ts:

declare module 'PouchDB';

And now I import PouchDB in my service:

import * as PouchDB from 'PouchDB';

Well, all is okey in my laptop (MacOS Sierra); ng serve, ng build without problems and PouchDB is working well.

But... Not the same thing in my server (Amazon Linux AMI)... 😐

I'm getting the next error trying to execute ng build:

ERROR in ./src/app/pictures.service.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'PouchDB' in '/home/aral/project/src/app'
 @ ./src/app/pictures.service.ts 11:0-35
 @ ./src/app/app.module.ts
 @ ./src/app/index.ts
 @ ./src/main.ts
 @ multi main

I have the same angular-cli version and node version that in my laptop... 😧

And I compared doing tree command in my laptop and my server and both have the same files. (Except some sub-dependency in node_modules).

Thank you!

Make sure that you have correct paths and follow the rules of the latest version like:

• Same folder files path always start with ./
• Import of app.module should be like <path>/app/app.module/ and not <path>/app/ etc

[aralroca]

@vapits I have all the paths with ./ because I started the project directly with 1.0.0-beta.22-1 and not from a previous version, and in my laptop is working well, only have this issue in my server. If was a problem with paths, in my laptop should be the same error, wasn't it? 🤔

And the error is:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'PouchDB'

Can't resolve 'PouchDB', not a path.

Thank for helping!

Are you using a Mac? The Mac main filesystem is case insensitive. Linux is not so forgiving. So when you're import from PouchDB the system is looking for a node_modules names PouchDB, but it's really named pouchdb (lowercase). Try it out.

Closing this but you're welcome to reopen it if that doesnt solve your problem.

@hansl just this. Thank you so much!
