Suddenly none of my installed npm packages are working. The code editor is flagging them with errors:
Is anyone else having the same issue?

Hi, @Miguel_Galvez !!
Just to be sure, please check if npm is installed. Could it have been removed or disappeared after installation? 
I just checked, and I saw the same red wavy line in my environment as well. 
Good to know I am not alone!

@Miguel_Galvez , We need to check whether this error-like display is just a visual issue or if the code is actually not being loaded properly. Based on your tests, whatās the result? Does it still work despite the error-like display, or is the function completely broken? If itās truly not working, it might be worth reporting this issue. Well, if such a catastrophic issue were really happening, I believe Wix would have already noticed and started addressing itā¦
I checked and my code is not working.
Okā¦
Honestly, I donāt have time to confirm it myself right now, but I will report it to the manager and Wix team @noahlovell @amandam for now.

Hey! Taking a look 
Will update when I have more info.
If you have any more info - e.g. the site it happens on/if this is a backend vs. page code file, that would be a huge help.
EDIT: made a quick test and can replicate, although the code is still running correctly. It seems visual, but happy to take with the team 
Iām having this issue too. It started happening around 1am EST and I thought it was a fluke. ALL of my backend npmās that Iāve been using are saying the same as this sendgrid npm āCannot find module ā@sendgrid/mailā or its corresponding type declarations.ā
This isnāt just visual - its actually not pushing emails (that have previously been working) anymore.
Please help! =)
Definitely not visual, my @sendgrid/mail npm has been working up until around 1am EST. I thought it was a fluke and went to bed but none of my backend (.jsw and .js) npms are working including @google-cloud/storage, etc etc. I put a screenshot down below.
Any word back on the Wix team working on this?
I can also confirm that it is not just visual. Most of my code is broken, and I think it is due to the fact that none of my npm backend packages are working.
Its frustrating because Iāve tried to contact customer care but the bot only allows me to open a trouble ticket and not chat with a rep. Its been 4+ hours since I opened trouble ticket and 3+ hours since it was brought to attention on here.
Clearly its not isolated and not being able to connect to npms cripples a site. =\
Same here. I opened a ticket 6 hours ago and I only got a generic customer support email requesting more specific information to try to replicate the problem. In the meantime my site remains broken.
I decided to build a work around using āfetchā which is basically the same thing. Honestly, I didnāt really like having to depend on npms from the start for this very reason.
Unfortunately, thatās not an option for me. I use some complex libraries that my code is dependent upon. I canāt believe that Wix has not acknowledge yet this problem.
Good morning! I checked again after waking up to see if the error was still occurring, and I found that the red wavy line was still appearing under the package name. So, I decided to run a quick experiment. I happened to come across a web.js file that contained a function using the CryptoJS package to hash text, so I tried using it in the frontend page code.
As a result, it seemed to work correctly without any errors. Based on my environment, my test results were the same as what noahlovell reported. However, this is just one test using a single package. The results might be different if multiple packages are used, if different types of packages are involved, or if the code is run in a .jsw or .js file instead of web.js.
Thatās why I still trust the reports from Miguel and docmalc. I donāt think their skills are lacking, and if previously working code suddenly stops functioning for both of them at the same time, itās natural to suspect that something has gone wrong. In fact, the appearance of the red wavy line seems to be a common issue for all of us.
I suggest that both of you try loading a different simple npm packageājust oneāand run it in web.js to see if it works. In situations like this, itās important to fix the conditions and test with the simplest possible scenario.
By the way, are your files web.js, .jsw, or .js?
Thanks for your response.
Iām not very familiar with web.js and donāt have the time to make sure Iām writing it correctly with the function calls and so forth to troubleshoot this on my end.
However, I did try and test an email send via @sendgrid/mail npm via āPreview modeā and although the red squiggly line āCannot find moduleā error still shows, it did seem to still work and send the email.
Iām still concerned because my clients were definitely having issues this morning and @sendgrid had no records of the emailSend calls. My test just now was done in Wix āPreviewā environment and not on the live site. I didnāt build the ability to test sandbox data in a live environment so I canāt test on live site due any actions done will affect clientsā clients and their data.
Iād feel better if we could get some concrete answers from tech support at least acknowledging the issue and informing us of the reach the issue has.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Edit: all of my backend code is written in .jsw and .js files. The npm import error is showing on both the .jsw and .js files including @google-cloud/storage and all other npms.
I have a backend .jsw file that used the qrcode npm. I can see the npm is installed, but in Editor it shows a squiggly red line error (Cannot find module) on the line
import QRCode from 'qrcode';
However, when I tested the code in Preview mode it still worked.
In Preview mine worked but my concern is it working on a live site. Iāve had issues in the past (unrelated) where it worked fine in Preview mode however on the live site it would not.
