Node.js
Node.js expected a directory but found a file path instead
ENOTDIR: not a directory
Node.js attempted to traverse or open a path as a directory, but one of the path segments is not actually a folder.
Error AtlasError Documentation and ResolutionObserved message
ENOTDIR: not a directory
Why it happens
- A file path is being treated as if it were a directory.
- One segment in a nested path resolves to a file instead of a folder.
- Configuration or path concatenation created an invalid directory path.
How to fix it
- Inspect each segment of the resolved path and confirm which parts are directories.
- Correct the path construction logic so file and directory boundaries are explicit.
- Validate configuration inputs that contribute to the final path.
