Cannot find module 'playfab-sdk/PlayFab'

Hi there,

I've got a server running on express and everything works fine. I've installed the node-sdk and literally copied and pasted this code(https://api.playfab.com/docs/getting-started/node-getting-started) yet I get this error when I run the file `Cannot find module 'playfab-sdk/PlayFab'`. I thought maybe somehow it was installed badly. I've install via `npm` and then another time with `yarn` yet still no luck--I keep getting this error. I've tried looking through the forums but didn't find a question for this.

Any advice would be appreciated at this point, thank you!

Could you review all the steps in our Node getting started guide? In specific, that error means that Node is looking in the local context for the playfab-sdk dependency and not finding it. But that should have been installed with the "npm install playfab-sdk" step.

If it helps, one of our customers posted a repo of his own project, which also uses express.js: https://github.com/dylanh724/tol-node-public.

Thank you @Brendan That is actually really helpful. He didn't install the playfab-sdk but instead used the files provided in the node install. These are the same ones found under node_modules if he would have actually installed it. I like his approach and will try it out since when installing it via npm doesnt seem to find it. Will update you tomorrow, thanks! ^_^

I've become aware that we missed a step when setting up our Node npm package, which means you can't import our package like normal lpackages. We're working on the issue, and hope to have a fix soon.

For now, you can import the files directly, via folder paths. This is less optimal than the normal NPM pattern, but it will work until we have a fix.

Hi Guys,

I'm receiving the same message bu installing with the "npm install playfab-sdk" step. Is there any news on this issue?

We are still in progress on the Node package update. We've tested the basic fixes, but we haven't yet gotten it working with our automated build system.

However, I just tested "npm install playfab-sdk", and the installation completed successfully. Your require statements will need to use the full relative path to the actual .js files until we fix the module, but installation should complete successfully.
