Could you please share the code snippet where you define your routes? I can help you spot the error right away.

The error TypeError: Missing parameter name at 1 indicates an issue with how one of your server's routes is defined. The path-to-regexp library, often used by frameworks like Express, is failing to parse a route path.

Here is an example:

Incorrect route definition (causes the crash):

// ❌ Wrong, A colon is present, but the parameter name is missing.
app.get('/api/items/:', (req, res) => {
  // ...
});

Correct route definition:

// ✅ Correct, The parameter is correctly named `id`.
app.get('/api/items/:id', (req, res) => {
  // ...
});

Go through your route definitions and check any strings passed to:

  • pathToRegexp

  • Express.js route definitions (app.get('/route/:param'))

  • Any router or middleware using dynamic route strings

Make sure every : is followed by a valid name.

To fix it basically remove that express version line from ur package.json, then delete ur node_modules and package-lock.json

Then install this command npm install express@4

Then run ur server again voila it will work
