Hi @bhaskar ,
'Cannot find module' is a node error, not an appium or grid related error.
If you are using AppiumForWindows, you must execute "node node_modules/appium" from AppiumForWindows folder instead of "node .".

[bhaskar]

Hi @rgonalo.. Many Thanks for your reply.!!! I'm not using Appium for windows(.exe)... i have installed it through command prompt by node.js..like " npm install -g appium "

Appium 1.34
Windows 7

[rgonalo]

Then you must use "appium --nodeconfig ..."

I tried your file and it worked fine from my side. I can confirm that it is neither a problem with Appium nor with your configurations.

For some unknown reason your keyboard might be inserting the wrong characters, so please download the following file node.txt), change the extension from .txt to .json (as the website here forbids uploading .json files) and try again.

Also to make sure that there is no syntax error with your json file, you can use the following website: http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/

@bhaskar
you can try to put your config file path into quotes like:> appium --nodeconfig "d:\your_path\file_name.json"
