fix: Cannot find module '/Users/steven/Desktop/Github/constore-ui/node_modules/inquirer/lib/prompts/input.js'

[steven-fe]

Steps to Reproduce

1. npm install --save-dev @commitlint/{cli,config-conventional,prompt-cli}
2. npx commit

Current Behavior

node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:255
throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(
^

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/Users/steven/Desktop/Github/constore-ui/node_modules/inquirer/lib/prompts/input.js' imported from /Users/steven/Desktop/Github/constore-ui/node_modules/@commitlint/prompt/lib/inquirer/InputCustomPrompt.js

Expected Behavior

The "inquirer" module can be imported normally.

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

The "inquirer" module should be used as is, for example:

bad: import InputPrompt from 'inquirer/lib/prompts/input.js';

Because the structure of the "inquirer" module may change!

Context

No response

commitlint --version

@commitlint/prompt@19.3.1

git --version

v2.42.0

node --version

v21.1.0

2. npx commit

npx commit? shouldn't this be npx commitlint?

Can you read my comment again? You're reporting a bug in the npm commitlint package repo, not commit repo.

[devmozao]

@knocte honest question: isn't this the docs of @commitlint? https://commitlint.js.org/guides/use-prompt.html

cuz on the scripts of this docs, we're instructed to use "commit" as a shortcut of the prompt-cli.

unless there's another commitlint 19.3.0 that i'm unware of, cuz @commitlint on NPM redirects right to this space: @conventional-changelog/commitlint

and also, the @commitlint/cli again, reports to this repo on NPM. that's why we're here. it's not a "commit" package. it's a npm script-run command named "commit", that runs commitlint as a shortcut, as the docs says so.

again: unless I'm missing something really, really hard here, I don't know what else. cuz npx commitlint also isn't the answer to the trick that we used before - again - as we learned from the docs.

[knocte]

we're instructed to use "commit" as a shortcut of the prompt-cli.

Ok sorry I'm not familiar with the prompt tools, we should add prompt-cli to the title of this github issue.

[devmozao]

@knocte np! I'm also reaching out on Inquirer.js to see if this error is related to something that is used here on commitlint. Maybe something changed recently on their side and needs to be reflected here as well.

[knocte]

Yeah, I feel this must have been a breaking change of one of commitlint's dependencies because commitlint's latest release is not recent.

[escapedcat]

tbh I think prompt has issues since a longer time.
If you want some sort of terminal ui maybe try cz-commitlint

[devmozao]

confirmed with the guys on Inquirer.js: it had recent changes. That's why we're getting this error.

"They should move to @inquirer/input or a custom prompt with @inquirer/core"

Will give it a try on cz-commitlint too.

[devmozao]

They made a rollback on @InQuirer to keep this feature, since it has some other libs still using it, but the recommendation of theirs continue: to upgrade to @inquirer/core, because they're rewriting the lib itself, since its +10 years old.

Today I tested here and everything went back to normal. Will definitely keep an eye at @commitizen and see if I can improve, but I think this solves for now and this issue can be closed.

Thank you all for the attention given. o/

[knocte]

Sounds like they kicked the can down the road, hehe. Which means, it's just a workaround, not the ultimate fix. So I think this github issue should be left open until we can adopt @inquirer/core.

[escapedcat]

@devmozao thanks for the update!
@knocte agreed, let's keep this open.
