missing dependency: uuid

See original GitHub issue

this is the reference to the module: https://github.com/node-cron/node-cron/blob/master/src/scheduled-task.js#L6

I can not understand how a test can be real when devDependencies are required for running it. I mean,

if I install devDependencies I have nyc, that depends on uuid, and the test will pass
when I run it in real world, with a simple npm i, I have no devDependencies packages, so it really say that uuid is missing.

I have no idea how to post a failing test and a patch fixing it.

The required patch is to add uuid dependency in package.json

For now, my workaround is to add uuid as an explicit dependency in my project.

This is the output of the error after npm i and node index.js:
