Welcome, chiheb.

Which directory are you in, when you run npm run seed? Also, are you sure you have the latest HEAD off of upstream/main?

3

i was in

freecodecampdirectory/freeCodeCamp$ npm run seed

which is the directory i got from forking and cloning the repo
i don’t know if i have the last head … it’s my first time i use git/github i just followed the instructions on this page

Are you able to locate the file: tools/scripts/seed/seedAuthUser?

Just to let you know, this document is hosted here: Introduction (freecodecamp.org) (It is much nicer to navigate, and read)

Also, what setup are you running? (OS, etc)

1 -yeah i can locate that file ( i didn’t understand what’s in it though)
2- i’m using those :

That is fine. I just cannot see why node cannot locate it.

Final thought: Change the package.json script in the root directory to be:

"seed": "cross-env DEBUG=fcc:* node ./tools/scripts/seed/seedAuthUser.js",

All I did was add .js to the end. I do not expect this to work, but why not

Sorry about that, I completely missed this.

7

now it’s just the same error with the “.js” at the end ( sorry for not responding all that time : connexion issues, hence why i wanna get the website offline)

A lot has changed, in the last few days, on the code base. Have you recently run :

  • git fetch upstream
  • git checkout main
  • git reset --hard upstream/main
  • Then try the develop steps again (including cp sample.env .env)

If this does not work, then I am out of my depth, and cannot think of why not.
