Cannot find module ‘got’
Require stack:

  • /var/task/node_modules/nayan-media-downloader/src/index.js
  • /var/task/routes/youtube.js
  • /var/task/index.js
    Did you forget to add it to “dependencies” in package.json?
    Node.js process exited with exit status: 1. The logs above can help with debugging the issue.
    INIT_REPORT Init Duration: 1266.32 ms Phase: invoke Status: error Error Type: Runtime.ExitError

how to solve this, I am stuck reinstalling the node modules again and again. It runs fine locally but gives this error in vercel.

Hi @usmandevcraft. The error indicates that the got package is required but was not included as a dependency. Sometimes it helps to remove the lockfile and generate a new one.

It looks like nayan-media-downloader requires got as a subdependency for your project. It may be worth looking into that package and check how your project uses it.

I also noticed that the got package notes include this warning, which could be related somehow:

Warning: This package is native ESM and no longer provides a CommonJS export. If your project uses CommonJS, you will have to convert to ESM. Please don’t open issues for questions regarding CommonJS / ESM.

There are too many possible causes to be able to say for sure without more info. If you can share a minimal reproducible example, then someone here might be able to recognize what’s going wrong.
