Error: Cannot find module "entities/maps/entities.json"

[rewmike]

Latest 2.2.1 release throws error in console:

Error: Cannot find module "entities/maps/entities.json"

Release 2.2.0 works fine, related to changes in #131.

I am running Node v5.0.0 and npm v3.3.6.

My fault (see this commit).

But on the other hand, I don't understand why that /node_modules\/entities\/.*\.json$/ regex doesn't match that JSON module. Maybe we should replace it with /entities\/maps\/.*\.json$/?

Works fine for me: Node 5.10.1, npm 3.8.3. Could you try to remove node_modules folder and reinstall all dependencies?

Same issue if starting fresh, running on Windows 7.

Hmmm. From https://webpack.github.io/docs/troubleshooting.html#windows-paths:

Windows paths

webpack expects absolute paths for many config options. __dirname + "/app/folder" is wrong, because windows uses \ as path separator. This breaks some stuff. Use the correct separators. I.e. path.resolve(__dirname, "app/folder") or path.join(__dirname, "app", "folder").

So shall the regex be new RegExp(path.join('node_modules', 'entities', '.*\\.json$').replace('\\', '\\\\'))?... Ugly. 😦

[sapegin]

Ugly as Windows ;-( Maybe there’s some npm module to do that in cross-platform way?

[sapegin]

I think we can use _.escapeRegExp here.

[mik01aj]

or we could use /[/\\]/ regex to match any path separator. So it would be: /node_modules[/\\]entities[/\\].*\.json$/. Still ugly.

[sapegin]

Could anyone with Windows try this solutions and send a pull request if it works?

[mdhgriffiths]

Works for me!

[tomnattle]

remove node_modules, run yarn

[jonathasborges1]

Remove node_modules e run npm install @angular/cli
