Npm-check-updates: NODE 8.0.0 and NPM 4.2.0 ERROR express-load require.extensions.hasOwnProperty is not a function

[mvgmenezes]

I am creating an app in Node 8.0.0 and NPM 5.0.0 and when i using express-load var load = require("express-load"); my server returns:

load/lib/express-load.js:32

  if (require.extensions.hasOwnProperty(ext) && extlist.indexOf(ext) === -1) {
                         ^

355 ?

[GriNAME]

The same

[barbalex]

this can be closed as https://github.com/tjunnone/npm-check-updates/issues/355 has been resolved

you may need to run npm uninstall npm-check-updates -g && npm install npm-check-updates -g though

[m-ghaoui]

It's been fixed.

npm i -g npm-check-updates

See also #355

@mvgmenezes As mentioned in https://github.com/tjunnone/npm-check-updates/issues/355#issuecomment-305239234 and other comments above, you can uninstall and reinstall ncu to make that error go away. Closing since there is nothing ncu can do to fix this. Let me know if that doesn't work for you and I'll help you get it fixed!

[mvgmenezes]

Thanks you all guys!!!

But with me doesn't works, I alter the file package.json(npm-check-updates ) to "require-dir": "^0.3.2", and I checked my version required-dir is it.

I re-install rpm to 4.2.0, I run npm i -g npm-check-updates and I run ncu -u

I run npm uninstall npm-check-updates -g && npm install npm-check-updates -g

When I alter express-load.js line 32 its works

if (require.extensions.hasOwnProperty(ext) && extlist.indexOf(ext) === -1) {

to

if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(require.extensions, ext)){

:)

[p3x-robot]

in npm 5, require-dir 0.3.2 will work, i dont know older versions. that patch in ncu now, merged.

This is the same error as #355 but notice it is occurring in a completely different package: express-load. This is not an issue with npm-check-updates or any of its dependencies.

Upgrade express-load to 1.1.16 and it should work!

[piotrkochan]

After

npm uninstall npm-check-updates -g && npm install npm-check-updates -g

I still getting TypeError: require.extensions.hasOwnProperty is not a function at requireDir

$ node -v
v8.1.2
$ npm -v
5.0.3

[piotrkochan]

OK so I've installed stable node and now It works

sudo n stable
node -v
v8.0.0
npm -v
5.0.0
