AWS Elastic BeanStalk nodejs Deployment error

Question

I am stuck in a very weird issue from the last two days. I am trying to deploy my webpack nodejs app on AWS elastic beanstalk. The Environment Health changes from OK to Degraded. I have deployed it many times before but no such issue occurred. First of all, see the logs:

/var/log/eb-activity.log

/opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py --action node-install Activity execution failed, because: + /opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py --action npm-install

npm ERR! path /tmp/deployment/application/node_modules/grpc/node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp npm ERR! code EEXIST npm ERR! Refusing to delete /tmp/deployment/application/node_modules/grpc/node_modules/.bin/node-pre-gyp: is outside /tmp/deployment/application/node_modules/grpc/node_modules/node-pre-gyp and not a link

A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /tmp/.npm/_logs/2018-09-18T05_49_17_967Z-debug.log Running npm install: /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v8.9.3-linux-x64/bin/npm

UTC 2018/09/18 05:49:17 cannot find application npm debug log at /tmp/deployment/application/npm-debug.log Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py", line 695, in main() File "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py", line 677, in main node_version_manager.run_npm_install(options.app_path) File "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py", line 136, in run_npm_install self.npm_install(bin_path, self.config_manager.get_container_config('app_staging_dir')) File "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py", line 180, in npm_install raise e subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v8.9.3-linux-x64/bin/npm', '--production', 'install']' returned non-zero exit status 1 (ElasticBeanstalk::ExternalInvocationError)

Now the error is of some node-gyp module and trust me I haven't heard it before. I am trying for a solution so that I can continue my work because this is really an embarrassing situation for me in front of my boss. Your help can get me out of this situation.

Thanks

@Duda Yes, I solved it. It was a Node Module issue. I degraded the version of that specific module and it works!!! — Usman

I had the same problems with various node modules. It was a simple toy project where I created the initial NodeJs express project using express init.

I found various posts about adding a file to the .ebextensions folder and ended up with this version:

Create a file called 01_delete_node_modules.config in the .ebextensions folder and add the following content:

files:
  "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/pre/49_delete_node_modules.sh":
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      sudo rm -rf /tmp/deployment/application/node_modules

Thank you! Didn't know you could do that, very helpful. With Heroku, 'magic scripts' like this are not required by default. However I'm thankful to try out Beanstalk thanks to helpful scripts like this.
