Receiving an error in workspace console. Cannot find module.

const breakfastPromise = new Promise( (resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(() => {       
             }, 3000);
});
console.log(breakfastPromise);

Below is the error

Error: Cannot find module '/home/treehouse/workspace/promises-breakfast.js'

This error baffled me too, until I belatedly realized I had to add the directory the file resides in:

node js/promises-breakfast.js

I know it has been a while since you asked this, but if you still need an answer I believe it is because your console is in the wrong directory. To use node you need to be in the same directory as the js file.

You can always right click on the file in the tree and select relative path... I download the project files and work in VScode, Sometimes, I have to add a ./ at the beginning of the file's url to make it work.
