I am trying to install react-html-parser in my docker container 'client':

docker-compose.yml
client/
      Dockerfile-dev
      node_modules/
      src/   
         components/
                   Seeds.jsx

and try and import it here:

Seeds.jsx

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactHtmlParser, { processNodes, convertNodeToElement, htmlparser2 }
from 'react-html-parser';
import axios from 'axios';

'axios' and 'react' are instaled allright, but not 'react-html-parser'. Console logs me the error:

index.js:1437 ./src/components/Seeds.jsx
Module not found: Can't resolve 'react-html-parser' in '/usr/src/app/src/components'

package.json

{
  "name": "client",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.18.0",
    "react": "^16.8.2",

  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {
    "extends": "react-app"
  },
  "browserslist": [
    ">0.2%",
    "not dead",
    "not ie <= 11",
    "not op_mini all"
  ],
  "devDependencies": {
    "enzyme": "^3.8.0",
    "enzyme-adapter-react-16": "^1.7.1"
  }
}

Dockerfile-dev

# base image
FROM node:11.6.0-alpine

# set working directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# add `/usr/src/app/node_modules/.bin` to $PATH
ENV PATH /usr/src/app/node_modules/.bin:$PATH

# install and cache app dependencies
COPY package.json /usr/src/app/package.json

RUN npm install --silent
RUN npm install [email protected] -g --silent

# start app
CMD ["npm", "start"]

docker-compose.yml

  client:
    build:
      context: ./services/client
      dockerfile: Dockerfile-dev
    volumes:
      - './services/client:/usr/src/app'
      - '/usr/src/app/node_modules'
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=development
      - REACT_APP_WEB_SERVICE_URL=${REACT_APP_WEB_SERVICE_URL}
    depends_on:
      - web

I can'f find the module inside my node_modules folder...

what am I missing here?


EDIT: npm install without --silent:

  • Have you taken the --silent off your npm install just to see if the install is logging out any errors? Commented May 28, 2019 at 0:20
  • Yes I had, please refer to my edit. Commented May 28, 2019 at 0:27
  • Are you launching this via a docker-compose.yml; and if you are, does it declare an anonymous volume for your node_modules directory? Commented May 28, 2019 at 0:36
  • yes, via docker-compose. please refer to edit for details. thanks Commented May 28, 2019 at 0:38

When your docker-compose.yml file says:

volumes:
  - '/usr/src/app/node_modules'

You're telling Docker your node_modules directory contains critical data that needs to be persisted across container runs. The first time you launch the container it will get populated from the image, but because that directory contains critical data, Docker will never ever update it again, even if you try to npm install additional modules.

For a near-term workaround, it's enough to docker-compose stop; docker-compose rm; docker-compose up --build your containers. Deleting the existing container (and its anonymous volume) is important.

is your workaround required for all services under compose or only client?
Only the service where you specifically need to delete the anonymous volumes. (You might consider whether you can remove these volume declarations altogether, because your code isn't data; it should be in the image you build.)
@DavidMaze I.love.you.

Try this command npm i react-html-parser --force

Can you add an explanation as to why this would solve the problem?
While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding how and/or why it solves the problem would improve the answer's long-term value. You can find more information on how to write good answers in the help center: stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-answer . Good luck 🙂
