{ [Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version
i tried to replace
bson = require('../build/Release/bson');
into
bson = require('../browser_build/bson');
but i had errors like this:
exports.BSON.BSON_BINARY_SUBTYPE_DEFAULT = 0 TypeError: Cannot set property 'BSON_BINARY_SUBTYPE_DEFAULT' of undefined
i am using monk, anfd i have run npm mongodb, npm monk
Problem: Modules like Mongo-DB, Socket.io and other requires node-gyp to compile C/C++ code which Kim also discussed. MSVC++ comes only for 32-bit OS, NOW this is the real problem because if you've install node.js and the other requirments like Python 2.7.3 with the 64-bit versions, then you'll face the problems like I did.
Follow these steps:
- Uninstall Node.js
- Uninstall all the Modules including Python
- Now Install 32-bit versions of all the above uninstalled applications and platforms.
- Follow all the necessary steps.
- Now install modules you want to use.
You may see some errors while installing, but don't panic. Try running your application and it will work just fine.
NOTE: This solution is platform specific i.e. for MS Windows.
I'm on windows 8.1, but what I did, was first install python 2.7.9 and also visual studio community edition. Both are needed to compile bson. Then I installed: "npm install -g node-gyp", after that I just deleted the node_modules from my project and did "npm install" again. Solved. When I did the install again I could see the message on the console that said bson was compiling.
MongoDB depends on a few libraries. At some point you would have done:
npm install mongodb --save
One of these dependencies is node-gyp which is needed to compile bson. Importantly, node-gyp requires Python 2.7 and Microsoft Visual Studio to be installed (see installation section of node-gyp). If you don't have Python 2.7 and Visual Studio, then node-gyp will fail to build which means it can't compile bson (causing the initial error).
Navigate to: node_modules\mongodb\node_modules\mongodb-core\node_modules\bson
You should find the builderror.log file with more information about why node-gyp failed to build. Most likely this will be due to Python 2.7 or Visual Studio not being installed.
Here's what I had to do to fix it:
I had the exact same problem as you with the bson module not found error. I also changed the require
line as you did and ended up with the same error (exports.BSON...). I then uninstalled monk and mongodb:
npm uninstall mongodb --save
npm uninstall monk --save
Installed Python 2.7 and Microsoft Visual Studio, then installed mongodb and monk again:
npm install mongodb --save
npm install monk --save
This fixed it.
The problem is fixed when i changed the version of node 10.34 and nom 1.4.28
