In my case  the issue occurred after I switched from a git branch to another  references to some old files remained in the scripts inside  node modules  cache  directory  Deleting  node modules    build  directories and  package-lock json  file then issuing  npm install  command has fixed the issue for me

I tried something and got this error Error  ENOENT  no such file or directory  open  D  Website Nodemailer Nodemailer-application views layouts main handlebars    The fix I got was to literally construct the directory as it is seen  This means labeling the items exactly as shown  It is weird that I gave the computer what it wants

Your app is expecting to find a file at  home embah node nodeapp config config json but that file does not exist  which is what ENOENT means   So you either need to create the expected directory structure or else configure your application such that it looks in the correct directory for config json

In my case the issue was caused by using a file path starting at the directory where the script was executing rather than at the root of the project   My directory stucture was like this  projectfolder   -- package json  -- scriptFolder        -- myScript js  And I was calling fs createReadStream  users csv   instead of the correct fs createReadStream  scriptFolder users csv
