I need to upload file and I am using node js in server(version : [nodemon] v1.0.1). The following code worked before 4 months after that I did n't check it and yesterday I run it again. But it is not working and I got "TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'existsSync'" error in console. Following is my code
var express = require('express');

In one site somebody told it will overcome after upgrading node js. But this code was working fine. It is not good if I need to upgrade for each change.

Reset to default 12I solved this issue by adding the following code
fs.existsSync = require('path').existsSync;
above
var dirExists = fs.existsSync(__dirname + "/uploads/" + id);
I got solution from this site
As a side note, as I encountered somewhat *similar* issue but on different scenario.
I tried to run grunt for bootstrap. Here is the error I got:
/home/user/gbootstrap/node_modules/grunt/lib/grunt/file.js:374
return fs.existsSync(filepath);
^

I found the root cause was due to i am using the default debian nodejs package (version 0.6.19) from repository.
Solution:
1. remove the nodejs:
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
2. download the binary from http://nodejs.org/download/
3. use the correct node and npm from the bin folder. Then it runs...

Make sure you load the core fs module at the top of this file like var fs = require("fs");. Other that that, existsSync should be there.
Side note: You can't use synchronous IO calls in a network server such as this. It completely destroys node's concurrency model at a basic and fundamental level. Use the async versions. You're already using some of them, just use async version exclusively and you'll be noding correctly.
fs. it should bevar fs = require('fs').– Christian Fritz Commented Feb 25, 2014 at 5:02syncmethods in server code. – vkurchatkin Commented Feb 25, 2014 at 5:11
