Describe the problem

When I enabled N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true for n8n and installed the http-proxy-agent library, I encountered an error related to module import.
Does anyone know how to fix this, or could you please help me?

What is the error message (if any)?

Hello @Hung_Hoang

Below is a suggestion to help you with your problem.

This error may occur due to an incompatible version of the http-cookie-agent library

As a test, install a specific version of the library

npm install http-proxy-agent@^7.0.0 http-cookie-agent@^5.0.4

Have you tried clearing the Node.js cache??

npm cache clean --force

Try reinstalling the dependencies

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Check the compatibility with your version of n8n, here is the link to the documentation that talks about the versions - Release notes | n8n Docs

Remember to DEPLOY your VPS instance

I hope I helped in some way.

If this suggestion solved your problem, please mark my post as the solution (blue box with check mark) so that this ongoing discussion does not distract others who want to find out the answer to the original question and click the heart. Thank you :+1:
