Fixing Node.js ENOENT Error: File or Directory Not Found

The ENOENT error in Node.js indicates that the file or directory you are trying to access does not exist.

This is a common error that occurs when using the fs module to read, write, or modify files.

For instance, attempting to read a file using fs.readFileSync('missing-file.txt') will throw the error ENOENT: no such file or directory.

The error happens due to incorrect file paths, typos, or deleted/moved files.

To fix this, ensure the file exists at the specified path.

Use fs.access to check file existence before accessing it, like this: fs.access(filePath, fs.constants.F_OK, (err) => { if (err) { console.error('File not found'); } });.

Also, always use path for path resolution.
