Hi all,
I haven’t been able to find an answer to this question anywhere, so I’m hoping someone here might have run into a similar issue.
I’m trying to containerize a NodeJS application, but run into this error during RUN npm install:
npm ERR! Could not install from "packages/example-package" as it does not contain a package.json file
The package in question is listed as a local dependency in my app’s package.json:
"dependencies": {
"@example-name/example-package": "file:../example-package"
},
There are no issues running npm install outside of docker with these local file paths.
I’ve tried copying the packages package.json file into the container, via the Dockerfile, like so:
COPY ./packages/example-package/package.json ./packages/example-package
The resulting error is:
npm ERR! Could not install "packages/example-packages" as it is not a directory and is not a file with a name ending in .tgz, .tar.gz or .tar
I’m at a loss as to where to go from here! Any suggestions?
Thanks
