Error: Cannot find module

[Dwayne246]

So I have been getting this error: Error: Cannot find module whenever I try the npx hardhat deploy command. On Stack Overflow, someone suggested deleting the "node_modules" folder, and reinstalling it, but it still didn't fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated :)

or you can install it globally, but first, you try this.

[Dwayne246]

Yep, installed globally, and hardhat-deploy is in package.json as well as hardhat.config.js now, still the same error. ;P

Can you:

1. Copy paste the package.json from my code into your package.json
2. Run rm -r node_modules (to remove your node modules folder)
3. Run rm yarn.lock (to remove your yarn.lock file)
4. Then run yarn (to install from your package.json)

And see what happens?

[Dwayne246]

I get this error when trying to remove the yarn.lock file
rm: cannot remove 'yarn.lock': No such file or directory

[PatrickAlphaC]

Oh you might be using npm, then run rm package-lock.json

make sure your in the same directory of your package.json when you install your dependencies
