TypeError: exists is not a function

Hi, I’m getting this error when using Level.

Console shows the error here, which is in bindings module:

exports.getRoot = function getRoot (file) {
  var dir = dirname(file)
    , prev
  while (true) {
    if (dir === '.') {
      // Avoids an infinite loop in rare cases, like the REPL
      dir = process.cwd()
    }
    if (exists(join(dir, 'package.json')) || exists(join(dir, 'node_modules'))) {
      // Found the 'package.json' file or 'node_modules' dir; we're done
      return dir
    }

Found that the fix is in TooTallNate/node-bindings#20 (as stated above). The PR for the commit is still open though, so it hasn’t been updated.

The same here when trying to using ‘usb’ lib in ReactJS:

TypeError: exists is not a function

199 | // Avoids an infinite loop in rare cases, like the REPL 200 | dir = process.cwd(); 201 | }

202 | if ( | ^ 203 | exists(join(dir, ‘package.json’)) || 204 | exists(join(dir, ‘node_modules’)) 205 | ) {

in bindings:

… exists = (fs.accessSync && function(path) { try { fs.accessSync(path); } catch (e) { return false; } return true; }) || fs.existsSync || path.existsSync, …
