DOT-PACKER(1)

okay so pull up a chair bestie, because this is the manual page for dot-packer(1) — yes, filed under User Commands — and it is a journey 💀✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

dot-packer — Performent JavaScript templating 💅

(yes bestie, that's literally the word, I don't make the rules 🙈)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ngl, the "description" here is not a description. It's a whole crash. Someone ran the thing, Node got big mad, and the manpage just... kept the receipt. Not once. Twice. The exact same error, twice, and that is literally the entire DESCRIPTION section, no cap 😭

Round one, verbatim, exactly as it shows up:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:818

      throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'commander' Require stack: -
/build/node-dot-Fd0ew0/node-dot-1.1.3+ds/bin/dot-packer

      at Function.Module._resolveFilename
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:815:15) at Function.Module._load
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:667:27) at Module.require
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:887:19) at require
      (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:74:18) at Object.<anonymous>
      (/build/node-dot-Fd0ew0/node-dot-1.1.3+ds/bin/dot-packer:4:15) at
      Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:999:30) at
      Object.Module._extensions..js
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1027:10) at Module.load
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:863:32) at Function.Module._load
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:708:14) at
      Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain]
      (internal/modules/run_main.js:60:12) {

      code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND', requireStack: [
      '/build/node-dot-Fd0ew0/node-dot-1.1.3+ds/bin/dot-packer' ]

}

then it does the whole thing again — except this time it skips that top internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:818 line and just dives straight in, because why not:

      throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'commander' Require stack: -
/build/node-dot-Fd0ew0/node-dot-1.1.3+ds/bin/dot-packer

      at Function.Module._resolveFilename
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:815:15) at Function.Module._load
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:667:27) at Module.require
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:887:19) at require
      (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:74:18) at Object.<anonymous>
      (/build/node-dot-Fd0ew0/node-dot-1.1.3+ds/bin/dot-packer:4:15) at
      Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:999:30) at
      Object.Module._extensions..js

      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:863:32) at Function.Module._load
      (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:708:14) at
      Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain]
      (internal/modules/run_main.js:60:12) {

      code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND', requireStack: [
      '/build/node-dot-Fd0ew0/node-dot-1.1.3+ds/bin/dot-packer' ]

}

So the whole story here is a MODULE_NOT_FOUND moment — Node looking for 'commander', a requireStack pointing right at /build/node-dot-Fd0ew0/node-dot-1.1.3+ds/bin/dot-packer, and the loader just handing you the same L twice 🔥 That's it. That's the page. It's giving "the description is a screenshot of the problem" and honestly? iconic behaviour 🫶

okay and for the lil footer tea 🍓: this page signs off as dot-packer internal/modules/c... and it's stamped November 2021. that's the whole vibe bestie, take care of urself 💅✨
