01 / FAILURE SIGNATURE

As reported upstream

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in pathto...Node_Modules\dotenv\main.js ..

Not a benchmark task.

The project already builds and runs before the fix, so there is nothing to repair.

motdotla/dotenv #692 · read the original issue

When I start the frontend:



```bash

 npm run start

```

I get:  

> Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in pathto...Node_Modules\dotenv\main.js ..



Note: `This error does not happen when running on my local Pc.`



Here's the screenshot from running the same app on [replit](https://replit.com/):

I conducted a short search and found this [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/62011612), which helped me repair issue by modifying the "./node modules/dotenv/Package.json" file.



It worked, the error was fixed!, but I don't understand why ?!😂, so I'm guessing this is a problem that the [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) community has to fix to avoid hacks like these.
