ERROR FIXED - "require is not defined"
**Error:** `require is not defined`
**Root Cause:** Using CommonJS `require()` in ES module environment
**Fix Applied:** β
Converted all `require()` to ES6 `import`
---
## π§ What Was Fixed
### Problem Code:
```typescript
// WRONG - CommonJS in ES module
const { fileURLToPath } = require('url');
const { dirname } = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
```
### Fixed Code:
```typescript
// CORRECT - ES6 imports
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { dirname, resolve } from 'path';
import { existsSync, mkdirSync, readdirSync, readFileSync, renameSync } from 'fs';
// For dynamic imports
const { readdirSync } = await import('fs');
```
