Webpack - Error: Cannot find module 'node:assert'

Question

Webpack - Error: Cannot find module 'node:assert'

I tried adding "assert" npm package no luck, any one have any ideas on what is throwing the error?

Answer 1

Please update node.js to latest versions and that should fix the issue for NX projects

Answer 2

Another thing is if you are using typescript like me, then:

npm i @types/node

And make sure the the tsconfig.json doesn't have a custom typeRoots property that ignores the default types in the node_modules folder
