ENOENT: no such file or directory for node_modules\jquery\dist\jquery.min.js'

Question

I am not sure what I am doing wrong:

I am following the tutorial here, but I keep getting the following error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\andrewkp\Documents\VSCode\Projects\node_modules\jquery\dist\jquery.min.js' Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\andrewkp\Documents\VSCode\Projects\node_modules\jquery\dist\jquery.min.js'

Here is my angular.json file.

Answer 1

After reviewing my error carefully:

C:\Users\andrewkp\Documents\VSCode\Projects\node_modules\jquery\dist\jquery.min.js'

I noticed that I was navigating to far back, as I can see above the path it is trying to read from is totally wrong, not including my project name at all.

The fix was to change:

"styles": [
   "src/styles.css",
   "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
 ],
 "scripts": [
   "../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
   "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
 ]

To:

"styles": [
   "src/styles.css",
   "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
 ],
 "scripts": [
   "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
   "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
 ]
