Cannot find module 'request@2.56.0' on newly created tenants

[adamjmcgrath]

The account linking extension is failing on newly created tenants - I suspect that it does not work on the Node 18 runtime

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a tenant
• Install the "Auth0 Account Link" extension
• Open the "auth0-account-link-extension" rule and click "Save and Try" and then "Try"
• The rule fails with:

ERROR: Cannot find module 'request@2.56.0'
Require stack:
- /data/io/node18/8e88feb3-2f75-48a2-8a40-e54c2844983a/webtask.js

Hi @adamjmcgrath , I'm the OP here https://community.auth0.com/t/auth0-account-link-error-with-importing-modules/114153

This, and other issues are bothering regarding this extension. I don't know if someone is monitoring this repo since rules are being deprecated next year. I guess at some point Auth0 will publish an Action to achieve this feature.

I'll post this on the thread later, but I managed to work around:

function (user, context, callback) {
  /**
   * This rule has been automatically generated by
   * Unknown at 2023-08-21T18:29:51.731Z
   */
  //Removed: var request = require('request@2.56.0');
  var jwt = require('jsonwebtoken'); //Removed version targeting
  var queryString = require('querystring');
  var Promise = require('native-or-bluebird@1.2.0');

  var CONTINUE_PROTOCOL = 'redirect-callback';
  //...

Apparently request is embedded in the runtime environment, and jsonwebtoken will resolve needed/"working" versions.

Hope this helps.

Will create a new thread and new issue with my other issue.

I am not sure where this is happening, since I am not sure where Rules are, so I was not able to apply the workaround.
I had to select node 16 to have it working.

I am having the same issue, I removed the extension, still getting the "Cannot find module" Error.
I can't even find the rule to maybe remove it or something.

I found that if you have a new tenant account and you're experiencing this, it's most likely because you're tenant is using Node 18. To find out and fix this problem like I did, go to your Tenant Account Settings page by clicking Setting under your account in the top right of the screen, go to Advanced, scroll to the bottom and make sure you're Runtime is on Node 16 not Node 18. Save once you've changed to Node 16.
