While attempting to package my app with browserify, I encountered the following error message:
Cannot find module 'jquery' from '/home/test/node_modules/backbone'I have searched for solutions to this issue, but none of them seem to work for me. It appears that my case is somewhat unique.
In a previous project, simply running npm install jquery resolved the problem. Despite not having it listed in my package.json file and not explicitly requiring jquery in any of my files like shown here, everything functioned as expected.
However, in my current project, I have tried reinstalling jquery using npm, adding it to dependencies in package.json, and including it in my code:
$ = require('jquery'); Backbone.$ = $;Unfortunately, none of these actions have solved the issue.
Has anyone else encountered this specific problem before? Any insights into what could be causing it?
Edit:
I compared the package.json of the working jquery module with the one in my broken app. Here are the differences:
Working version:
"url": "https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git"
"_from": "jquery@*"
Broken version:
"url": "git+https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git"
"_from": "jquery@>=2.1.0 <3.0.0"
"readme": "ERROR: No README data found!"
If more detailed context is needed (such as line numbers or parent properties), please let me know. I wanted to simplify the comparison to see if anything stands out.
Edit 2:
Changing the "url" parameter did not make a difference. Substituting the "_from" value with the working version also had no effect.
At this point, I am questioning why the README data cannot be located. Both of my README files are identical, so I doubt this is the root cause of the problem.
Edit 3:
I eventually resolved the issue by removing the jquery module and directly including jquery.js in my index view. Although this solution works, it is not ideal.
I am still interested in understanding what was causing the initial problem. If anyone has any insights, I would appreciate hearing them.
