Enable Node.js coding assistance WebStorm doesn't work

Question

I have a big issue with WebStorm (I'm using WebStorm 2019.1.2 ultimate edition) where I tried to start coding Node.js using it, when I tried to write require('fs'); it shows me an error message:

unresolved function or method require()

and as a solution it suggested me to "Enable Node.js code assistance".

I've tried to enable it (directly from the suggestion than from going to Settings) but IT CAN'T BE ENABLED.

I checked of course previous similar problems posted here on StackOverflow but I only found one post where the problem was the old version of WS (but I have 2019.1.2)

Answer 1

I was using global packages. But when I installed packages locally in the project, it worked.

Answer 2

WEB-43088 is fixed in 2019.3.2. Please either upgrade WebStorm to the most recent version (2019.3.3) or downgrade Node.js
