Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'datatables.net-responsive'
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'datatables.net-responsive'
![hashmaster3k](https://datatables.net/forums/uploads/userpics/361/nR3TY3VP3NJE4.jpeg)
I am upgrading my Rails application from bootstrap 4.6 to 5.0. In order to also upgrade DataTables, I performed:
yarn remove "datatables.net-bs4";
yarn remove "datatables.net-responsive-bs4";
yarn remove "datatables.net-select-dt";
then performed
yarn add datatables.net-bs5
yarn add datatables.net-responsive-bs5
yarn add datatables.net-select-bs5
I also updated my application.js to import the new libraries. When precompiling my JS code, I get the following error

The download builder does not mention needing the base datatables.net-responsive
but when added the errors go away but my tables don't seem to be formatted as they were with bs-4.

We've got an error in our current release package for Responsive I'm sorry to say. It should have a dependency on
datatables.net-responsive
which the 2.2.9 release does not. We've got it fixed in git and I'll get it packaged up and released soon. Thanks pointing that out. Until then, ayarn add datatables.net-responsive
should sort it out.Regarding the styling - perhaps you could give me a link to your page showing the issue so I can see what is happening please?
Allan
Thanks for letting me know Allan. I'll keep an eye out on that fix.
The styling issue only occurs on my development as production is still running bootstrap 4. The best I can do right now is a picture. The formatting issues are padding, alignment and missing a top border, as seen below.
Table headers/styling with bs4

Table headers/styling with bs5
Download or open in new tab for better view of picture.
With styling issues, they really need to be seen to be make recommendations. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.
Cheers,
Colin
Bootstrap 5 doesn’t have a top border for the table - so that part is correct.
The alignment of the arrows does look wrong - but I’m not seeing that on our BS5 example. If you could link to a test case as Colin indicates, I’ll be able to identify what is going wrong.
Allan
Allan/Colin. Thanks for you help. When installing the base responsive library things lined up properly. I also noticed the same thing yesterday on the docs in regards to the top line. At this point my issue is resolved until that dependency fix is released.
Thank you for your assistance!
