JavaScript Set Breakpoints to Pause Execution

Missing files?

When following the video and start running the app in debug mode I get error message:

Process exited with code 1
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'http-errors'

Which makes sense since the app.js require a lot of javascript that is not available. In fact the entire javascript folder is empty?

Just FYI for anyone who might see this - I got the same error as Johan and couldn't move forward. Mine appeared to be related to the port as it said the port is already in use. I just changed the port to 8080 and it fixed it. Other than that, nothing else was doing the trick.

Hi there, Johan Berglund! the "javascripts" folder should be empty. However, the implication here is something went wrong when you did npm install because "http-errors", "express" and the like should have been installed in the node_modules folder.

I would recommend trying to run npm install again and see if that fixes it.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Hi! The installation went well. I think it is the path in either the start script (package.json) or the program path in launch.json that are different in the download files from the video. How I should set them up I don't know.

Johan Berglund when installing did you get any warnings or messages asking you to run NPM audit?
