Error: Cannot find module 'request'

[goodevilgenius]

A fresh install of api-designer results in the following:

$ npm install -g api-designer
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: wrench.js is deprecated! You should check out fs-extra (https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra) for any operations you were using wrench for. Thanks for all the usage over the years.

After running npm install -g request, api-designer runs properly.

npm -g install request

2018 and the module is still broken. Latest node version (v9.8.0) and npm v 5.6.0. I don't want to install request globally. If you use a module, then you have to add it to the dependencies in the package.json. Surely this can't be that hard.

@T-vK https://github.com/mulesoft/api-designer/blob/master/package.json#L22

It is listed. 🤷‍♂️

See https://github.com/mulesoft/api-designer/issues/518#issuecomment-407605849

The version is old on npmjs.com. Latest is on master branch. Try the below command to install latest version.

npm install -g mulesoft/api-designer#master

I had to follow npm install -g mulesoft/api-designer#master to get the designer to work. Recommend the install instructions on the readme page be updated

[T-vK]

npm install -g mulesoft/api-designer did the trick for me.

[AngusCS]

Did not install well for me. There were six warnings from NPM about deprecated packages and a warning from api-designer about another deprecated package.

Is this project still being maintained?

@carowright I think this commit closes this issue. https://github.com/mulesoft/api-designer/commit/842b07fb0990ddff0d4c41210a9357d4295979d8#diff-b9cfc7f2cdf78a7f4b91a753d10865a2
