Node.js cannot find module [duplicate]

Question

I have 3 js files:

app.js
server.js
utils.js

There is express server starts in server.js. app.js call server start from server.js. app.js is in root directory and there also is a src directory with server.js and utils.js. When I'm trying:

var utils = require('utils');

In server.js I get error:

Error: Cannot find module 'utils'

Why? utils.js and server.js are in the same directory.

Thank you.

You have to write:

require("./utils")

Otherwise it will try to load utils.js from the node_modules directory.
