The command "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin NODE_PATH=`npm root -g` node

when i tried to generate a sitemap using laravel-sitemap by spatie team in localhost it gives me an empty sitemap.

    $path = public_path('/sitemap.xml');
    SitemapGenerator::create(env('APP_URL'))->writeToFile($path);

when upload the file into web server and tried to generate the sitemap it gives me this error:

The command "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin NODE_PATH=`npm root -g` node '/path/to/project/vendor/spatie/browsershot/src/../bin/browser.js' '{"url":"https:\/\/coderflex.com\/","action":"content","options":{"args":[],"viewport":{"width":800,"height":600}}}'" failed.

Could be an issue with missing modules.

Error: Cannot find module 'puppeteer'

Have you run npm install on the server?

I found a possible solution on internet. Run the following into your project root (or in workspace container if run in Docker).

$ which node

result ------> /usr/local/bin/node (may be different)

$ export NODE_PATH='/usr/local/bin/node' <---result

$ npm run dev <---- probably not neccessary to rerun this(?)

The problem is that node should not be installed as root. (as is stated by some developers)

in my case my puppeteer version was too old. check https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/releases and update your package.json file like this:

as of 28th Feb 2023

    "dependencies": {
        "puppeteer": "^19.7.1"
    }

then run

npm update puppeteer
