Getting "Cannot find module" error when using typescript

[Majoramari]

Issue

I'm getting this error when suing typescript (javascript is fine) I tried to rebuild and remove the the node_modules and reinstall also tried bun.sh and deno, even tried with wsl (I'm on windows)

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1078
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module '/mnt/c/Users/Major/Desktop/canvas/index.js'
    at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1075:15)
    at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:920:27)
    at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:23:47 {
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: []
}

Note:
when using bun.sh I get this error instead

error: Cannot find module "../build/Release/canvas.node" from "/mnt/c/Users/Major/Desktop/canvas/node_modules/canvas/lib/bindings.js

Steps to Reproduce

import { createCanvas, loadImage } from 'canvas';

(async () => {
	const canvas = createCanvas(700, 250);

	const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

	const background = await loadImage('background.jpg');

	ctx.drawImage(background, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

	console.log('test');
})();

Your Environment

• Version of node-canvas (output of npm list canvas or yarn list canvas): -- canvas@2.11.2
• Environment (e.g. node 4.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.8): wsl (debian) & windows 11 22h2

Did you by chance install this to your system globally rather than inside of a typescript project? It's being found inside my TS project but getting vulns that prevent a successful startup.

This occurs when the module is not properly installed or when the path to the module is incorrect, you can try

1. Reinstall the canvas module.
2. Verify the file path and existence of the 'background.jpg' file.
3. Check the module resolution strategy and bundler configuration.
4. Update the canvas module to the latest version.
5. Ensure all dependencies are installed correctly.
6. Consider using a different environment or machine.
