Cannot find module 'tape'

See original GitHub issue

I am getting this error when I try to start my app. It’s bubbling up from XO since it uses multiple dependencies that rely on resolve.

Error: Cannot find module 'tape'
Require stack:
- /Users/rizowski/git/work/events-service/node_modules/resolve/test/resolver.js

Test cases:

reverted from node 12 to 10
switched to xo version 0.26 which was well before this issue
switched to yarn in case npm is causing the issue
deleted lock files and node_modules for each test

Ha I just found it. I had a bad glob pattern in my project. It was ./**/*resolver.js I must have missed that it was loading from the root of my project so it was looking in node_modules.

Crazy how things can be figured out in an hour of talking to someone you don’t know after staring at an issue for 3 days. 😆 Thanks again 👋

Listing out all the things I just tested, it seems to suggest that it’s my environment. And it just so happens to be reproducible across all my devices and environments. 🤔 I just tried to create a test repo that has all the same dependencies installed. I can’t reproduce it in a sample project. Even with the versions I was using. So I’m just going to close this.

@ljharb Thanks for responding quickly to all my pleas and trying to help me debug this. If I figure anything out I’ll post an update.
