Getting error while reading local file in node.js

Question

Getting error while reading local file in node.js

I am trying to read a local file using node.js. My NPM module is trying to execute a child process and that inturn opens a file to read. While reading this throws an error

{ [Error: ENOENT, open 'E:\Project\SecIntegrator\Attack\manifest.json']
  errno: 34,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  path: 'E:\\Project\\SecIntegrator\\Attack\\manifest.json' }

Actual path to read this file is

E:\Project\SecIntegrator\node_modules\restScannerDriver\GarudRudra\Attack\manifest.json

I have used var configPath = path.join(path.dirname(fs.realpathSync(__filename)), '/'); to calculate absolute path but still not working.

node.js
file-io
npm

Inside the NPM module your path changes. So try to use __dirname in NPM and create the realpath like that:

var filepath = fs.realpathSync(__dirname+'/'+relative path from here to your file);

After that look what's the result of filepath
