Faker.js: Module not found

[pvpshoot]

Hi, I have following issue in browser build:

ERROR in ./node_modules/faker/lib/locales.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot find file: 'index.js' does not match the corresponding name on disk: './node_modules/faker/lib/locales/en_AU_ocker/en_au_ocker'.
 @ ./node_modules/faker/lib/locales.js 9:25-57
 @ ./node_modules/faker/index.js

everything is ok in node env, but crashed for browser build.
ENV:

• create react app
• node v14.3.0
• faker v5.1.0

I ran the steps required to clone a clean version and run the browser build and our systems seem to disagree.

Closing for now unless someone can provide additional proof or details.

@Marak I stumbled to this error after upgrading to 5.1.0.

Cannot find file: 'index.js' does not match the corresponding name on disk: '...\node_modules\faker\lib\locales\en_AU_ocker\en_au_ocker'.

If I rename the en_au_ocker folder to en_AU_ocker in ...\node_modules\faker\lib\locales\ it works, because in node_modules\faker\lib\locales\locales.js it is required as require('./locales/en_AU_ocker')

[ohcibi]

@szmarci check the repository. The directory has the correct name. What most likely happened is that you checked out this directory by using small letters. Ntfs cannot tell git the difference hence git for windows default setup ignores case changes. So no matter how you ended up with that wrong name, git for windows won’t change it by default. Since there might be other case changes your clone is unaware of I’d suggest to reclone the repository.

I had the same issue on macOS upgrading from Faker v4.1.0 to v5.1.0 - its file system is also case insensitive by default. Yarn must have installed the package over the top of the old one, leaving the file system with the lowercase directory name but new, changed JS. The solution is to either rename the en_au_ocker directory to en_AU_ocker or just reinstall your project with a removal of node_modules or faker's top-level directory.
