Import Paths Broken After File Reorganization

After Cursor moved or reorganized your source files, many import statements are broken. The build fails because modules can't be found or import paths are incorrect.

Relative paths didn't get updated when files moved.

Error Messages You Might See

Cannot find module '../utils' MODULE_NOT_FOUND Cannot find name 'UserService' ERROR in compilation
Cannot find module '../utils'MODULE_NOT_FOUNDCannot find name 'UserService'ERROR in compilation

Common Causes

  1. Relative import paths not updated after file move (../controller/user.js no longer valid)
  2. Absolute path imports assuming old directory structure
  3. Circular dependencies created by file reorganization
  4. Index.js file with re-exports removed during cleanup
  5. tsconfig paths configuration doesn't match new structure

How to Fix It

Use absolute imports with path aliases if possible: import {User} from '@/models/User' with tsconfig "paths": {"@/*": ["src/*"]}. Or carefully count directory depth for relative: import {a} from '../../../utils'. Use IDE's auto-refactor on move.
