TypeError: Router.use() requires middleware function but got a Object
There have been some middleware changes on the new version of express and I have made some changes in my code around some of the other posts on this issue but I can't get anything to stick.
We had it working before hand but I can't remember what the change was.

It appears the answer to this question has changed for versioning reasons. Thanks to Nik
In any one of your js pages you are missing
module.exports = router;
Check and verify all your JS pages
Simple solution if your are using express and doing
const router = express.Router();
make sure to
module.exports = router ;
at the end of your page
