Edge cannot find module 'body-parser' when running server.js

Anyone know why Edge would be complaining that it can’t find the body-parser module? This used to work fine, but the message has been coming up in the last week or so. The module’s used in a server.js that’s called as a target endpoint. Thanks!

Output from the Edge UI:

*** Starting script

Lines 11 - 16 of my server.js:

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: true
}));

Did you find a solution to this? I am facing the same issue

Hi @Shrawan Raina - Can you share the proxy bundle here ? Has worked for me previously. Would like to try your code and see if I can help

Hi @Sai Saran Vaidyanathan. Thank you for your comment; I got it to work. Had to locally install the body-parser module.

Found out what my trouble was. I ran into this problem because I was deploying my proxies (with a script), then installing the modules. As it turns out, proxies that use the modules (those with the Node.js script) must be deployed after the modules are installed. Apparently, they pick up some sort of module registration info when they’re deployed.

@Steve Traut Hi, I believe I have the same issue but not clear on what you did to fix it. I am unable to upload a screenshot here, it will not let me but I will explain. Whenever I try the apigeetool to deploy my nodejs app, the node modules never finish uploading. I get the following error: Error: Error uploading resource node_modules\liftoff: 500.

If I leave out the node modules it works, but I need the modules obviously for the app to work. Can you please clarify what you did for yours to work?

Update: My issue is not the same sorry, your issue had to do with when the module is already uploaded, in mine it is not getting that far yet.

Thanks
