Cannot Set Property 'exports' Of Undefined

I have absolutely no clue why node.js makes including files from other files so difficult. I have a file called file_handler.js exports = {}; exports = { upload_file: function

Solution 1:

Okay, apparently it's because I need to load it as an AMD module.

module.exports = {...} is the CommonJS way.

define(function() {...}); is the AMD way (which I needed to use).

Solution 2:

It should be:

module.exports = {
    upload_file: function (fileUploaderPath, filename) {
        var child_process = require('intern/dojo/node!child_process');
        child_process.spawn(fileUploaderPath + ' ' + filename);
    }
};

I have just tried this and it worked.

Alternatively, you can do something like this:

exports.upload_file=function (fileUploaderPath, filename) {
  var child_process = require('intern/dojo/node!child_process');
  child_process.spawn(fileUploaderPath + ' ' + filename);
};
