Error: Cannot find module 'commander'

See original GitHub issue

When changing into a directory with a .node-version file I get the following error.

11:26:36 ▶ cd kibana
module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:497:3)

I’ve installed avn via yarn which worked fine previously. I’ve tried blowing out avn with rm -r ~/.avn and reinstalling as well with yarn global add avn avn-nvm to no avail.

Details

avn avn --version - 0.2.3
node node --version - 8.11.1
nvm nvm --version - 0.33.8
n n --version - na
zsh zsh --version - na
bash bash --version - 4.4.19(1)-release

The output of __avn_debug in the directory with a .node-version file is:

11:24:48 ▶ __avn_debug
module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

avn is loaded in my ~/.bashrc file with:

[[ -s "$HOME/.avn/bin/avn.sh" ]] && source "$HOME/.avn/bin/avn.sh" # load avn

nvm specific

As an nvm user I am confirming that I did not install with Homebrew

I was able to resolve this by running npm install in ~/.avn.

I was able to resolve this by running npm install in ~/.avn.

I had a similar issue and while doing this solved the initial issue it presented a new one. I believe that using Yarn (which I used) didn’t properly install avn-n and avn-nvm because they don’t include any binaries.

I’ve since removed everything and globally installed avn, avn-n and avn-nvm with npm instead and I had no issues so far.
