NPM is behaving weirdly?

[scripting]

0. I have a fair amount of experience writing and submitting modules to NPM.

1. This new module, davezip, isn't working.

2. I require it in the usual way, do an npm install, and run the app, and get an error.

Error: Cannot find module 'davezip'

3. I verify that the folder is in node_modules, and it contains the correct files.

4. I also note that a few of the files have the mod date Oct 26, 1985 at 4:15 AM. See screen shot at end of this list.

5. Here's a minimal program that displays the problem. It's just one line.

const myzip = require ("davezip");

6. Not sure what else I can try. Any help much appreciated.

Just created a test project and I did not get the error

1. mkdir daveziptest ; cd daveziptest
2. npm -y init
3. npm install davezip
4. create file index.js

const myzip = require("davezip");
console.log(myzip);

1. node index.js
   { createArchive: [Function] }

ls -l node_modules/davezip

I found the problem -- I left out the "main" section of the package.json file.

Not the first time I've made that mistake.

@papascott -- I think you must've tried it after I fixed it. Sorry for the wild goose chase! :-)
