Error: Cannot find module 'node-fetch'

hello, I’m new at using your lambda functions. At the top of my code I have:

const fetch = require('node-fetch').default (I've also tried without default. I installed the npm encoding package, but I'm still getting the screenshot error.

The site itself appears to work (https://joyful-zuccutto-8b8329.netlify.app/), but https://joyful-zuccutto-8b8329.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/meta does not.

I don’t see errors in the deploy log is :

8:28:29 PM: Starting post processing
8:28:29 PM: Post processing - HTML
8:28:29 PM: Post processing - header rules
8:28:29 PM: Post processing - redirect rules
8:28:30 PM: Post processing done
8:28:30 PM: Section completed: postprocessing
8:28:30 PM: Site is live :sparkles:

The function log:

Hiya @kc1 :wave:t6: , welcome to the forums and thanks so much for reaching out.

Do you think you can give these two support guides a read and see if this helps solve your problem. Netlify Functions Can’t find module and Cannot use node-fetch in lambda function .

Thank you - In my case I downgraded to node-fetch 2.6.1 - the last release using commonjs - This solved the problem.
