Package.json works in Docker but not locally. Why?

edibisic · July 31, 2021, 4:16pm

I have downloaded the sample Docker getting-started project from: getting-started-webpage

{
    "name": "101-app",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "main": "index.js",
    "license": "MIT",
    "scripts": {
        "prettify": "prettier -l --write \"**/*.js\"",
        "test": "jest",
        "dev": "nodemon src/index.js"
    },
    "dependencies": {
        "body-parser": "^1.19.0",
        "express": "^4.17.1",
        "mysql": "^2.17.1",
        "sqlite3": "^4.1.0",
        "uuid": "^3.3.3",
        "wait-port": "^0.2.2"
    },
    "prettier": {
        "trailingComma": "all",
        "tabWidth": 4,
        "useTabs": false,
        "semi": true,
        "singleQuote": true
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "jest": "^24.9.0",
        "nodemon": "^1.19.2",
        "prettier": "^1.18.2"
    }
}

Exception thrown:

at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\Ulrich Giorgio Jäger\IdeaProjects\docker-tutorial-app\node_modules\sql
ite3\lib\sqlite3-binding.js:4:15)
error MODULE_NOT_FOUND

Dockerfile:

FROM node:12-alpine
RUN apk add --no-cache python g++ make
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN yarn install --production
CMD ["node", "src/index.js"]

So my question is why it works when copied to Docker container and not locally.

Given that things work in Docker, I feel your question is off-topic on this forum. We also don’t know when the error occurs and what you’ve already done before that, so we’re in the dark with just an error message.

(That said, I’d remove the node_modules directory, run yarn install and carefully watch for any errors before running yarn dev or node src/index.js again, assuming that is what you were running.)

hi
yes deleting the node modules is a good idea
nevertheless it didt work i deleted the node modules folder and lock files

the npm or yarn install is finishing without errors but a lot of deprecated packages. This is an example from the original docker getting started tutorial here on web page any ideas?

here is the log

after updating all the dependecies to newer versions the error has gone.
But now i face another error

I guess it is a dependecy not supporting older versions. So tricky like the needle in the hay stack

avbentem · July 31, 2021, 6:08pm

That may answer the question why the orginal works in Docker: that’s a Linux environment, and maybe the yarn.lock in the GitHub project yields a different dependency resolution for Linux and Windows. I don’t know.

edibisic · July 31, 2021, 6:08pm

again i needed to update the uuid dependency to uuidv4 because it is required by code

db.init()
    .then(() => {
        app.listen(6942, '127.0.0.1',() => console.log('Listening on port 54778'));
    })
    .catch(err => {
        console.error(err);
        process.exit(1);
    });

edibisic · July 31, 2021, 6:18pm

yes but that did`t solved the problem i needed to update the package.json dependencies to newer versions and uuidv4 package etc.

edibisic · August 1, 2021, 10:15am

i did download the zip file from

edibisic · August 5, 2021, 9:54am
