Getting error while hashing password with bcrypt: can not find module bcrypt_lib.node

Question

I'm working on an api project with node.js and receive this error while trying to hash my code with bcrypt package :

  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/emad/work/node.js/npm-demo/node_modules/bcrypt/lib/binding/napi-v3/bcrypt_lib.node'

  ]
}

My OS is a Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS and I installed all the dependecies that was written down in bcrypt page in npm site

FWIW, this fixed it for me. Running on a node docker container

Thanks for the solution. In my case it happened with zero messages, I had to debug the imports and then see it was failing at bcrypt... then I changed from import to require so I could see the error and found your suggestion. That's really bad.
