How to properly deploy node app with node modules included with trial account?

Hi,

I am trying to deploy a node app I have using the apigeetool cli. Do I upload all node modules at the same time? If yes, it seems to dump then all in a node file losing the file structure I originally had. I am following this deployment tutorial but something doesn’t seem right? There is also a Bad Gateway happening on some packages and the node modules never get uploaded. Tried multiple times.

Update: I was able to deploy my node app but without the node_modules attached although using it is useless without the node_modules. So my question remains how to properly add node_modules because the default way is not working for me?

Hmm, I noticed recently that using the Apigee Admin API for “npm install” was not working.

The way I have deployed nodejs apps is:

  • perform an npm install locally
  • zip up the node_modules folder into node_modules.zip
  • remove the node_modules folder
  • zip the entire API Proxy bundle
  • import THAT zip

This can be done with a tool like pushapi .

or you can do it manually, or write your own mini-script to do the zipping step. Here’s an example.

$ ./ProduceApiProxyZip.sh ~/dev/community-examples/crypto-test

If you don’t have bash, and you have Windows and Powershell, then you can use the Edge Powershell module to do the same thing.

Import-EdgeApi -Name my-apiproxy-1 -Source c:\my\directory

In the meantime I will look into the failure that you reported.
