My imports work fine within my javascript file, but they do not work when I start the webserver. I can access the functions of the imported module as expected, but the import statement itself fails when I boot up the nodejs server.
I added the following import statement without error to the top of a javascript class
import * as Ably from 'ably';
My HTML file has this at the end of the body tag
<script src="./app.js" type="module"></script>
I get the following error from inspect element (no errors in vscode)
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "ably". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".
I tried changing the file path
import * as Ably from './node_modules/ably/ably.js';
but this gave me 404 errors
GET http://localhost:3000/node_modules/ably/ably.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
Try using <script src="https://cdn.ably.com/lib/ably.min-1.js"></script> in HTML file
instead of import. Also, check this thread, looks similar to your problem Failed to resolve module
