I’m new to JavaScript development. I’ve been a back end developer for many years, but I now need to learn JavaScript for my job.
The team I’m in have had several problems that seem to be magically resolved by deleting a load of nested node_modules folders. Is this normal in JavaScript world? I’d love to understand what’s going on here.
The latest example was this error message:
Method "simulate" is only meant to be run on a single node. 0 found instead
Again, deleting the node_modules folder in the effected component and re-running yarn install fixed the issue. I’d love to know about common problems that might cause this behaviour, and how to stop them from happening.
