Truffle cant find script file

Question

I am trying to execute a script in my truffle project. The script is located in the scripts folder. But whether I run the command from within the root of the project or inside the scripts folder, it cant seem to find my file NiftRouter01.sol which is located in another project. I am using command truffle exec './deploy_pool.js' --network bscTestnet

C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\truffle\build\commands.bundled.js:455204
        throw new Error("Could not find artifacts for " + import_path + " from any sources");
        ^

Error: Could not find artifacts for ../../niftswap-periphery/build/contracts/NiftRouter01.json from any sources

Answer 1

I was able to resolve this by removing - from the script name, deleting node_modules folder and package.json and forcing npm cache clean. Also placed the script in an external folder.
