Why does this dependency error occur on Linux but not Windows?
In my Node.js code, I am getting the following error when running on Linux, but not on my window machines. I am not changing the structure of the files in between. Why is this happening?
Error: Cannot find module './app/helpers/textHelper.js'

The typical answer here is that the capitalization of a path is not exactly the same on a string as it is on a filesystem. Most * nix filesystems are case sensitive; There are no standard Windows file systems.
So, for example, if the actual directory app/Helpers
or the actual file name texthelper.js
, it will not be a case-matched match for that string.
