how to install bcrypt?

[marco....@gmail.com]

Hey there,

in the app-logs i see the following:

in the root directory of your application. 

meteor npm install --save bcrypt 

In order to use the native implementation instead, run [...]

adding bcrypt to package.json dependencies not solves the issue.

How to get bcrypt installed?

Regards

Marco

oh, i have to say: it's a meteor app.

Can you run that command locally instead and deploy. Most deployments we have seen have a file npm-rebuilds.json, under programs/server we use that file to rebuild the bcrypt binary on the server if it is in there.

i've done that already. now again.

"meteor build"  generates a tar.gz and i have not changed anything inside it.

Running  "meteor npm rebuild" locally does not help also.

I'm having the same problem with bcrypt. Additionally, other NPM modules that my Meteor app depends on are also missing.

Under Meteor 1.3, npm modules are installed directly with meteor npm install instead of the previous way of running Npm.require in package.json of the packages (which still works on NodeChef now).

The error I get comes from here:

at Object.require (/bundle/programs/server/boot.js:168:18) 
at require (internal/module.js:12:17) 
at Module.require (module.js:353:17) 
at Function.Module._load (module.js:276:25) 
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:325:15) 
Error: Cannot find module 'twit' 

^ 
throw error; 
/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/promise/node_modules/meteor-promise/promise_server.js:190

This is the new Modules system in Meteor 1.3. Looking at the generated meteor build (tar.gz) the file you're referring to, npm-rebuilds.json, only has 'npm' in there. Adding 'twit' into the npm-rebuilds manually didn't help either. However, node_modules directory in there already includes builds for npm packages (twit is there). 

So I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but I'd ask if you could test your deployment scripts with an empty meteor app that just depends on some external npm package. Hopefully if you can get this fixed, the bcrypt dependency will be fixed at the same time.

Let me know how I can help.

If you know the path to the node_modules folder which contains twit in your tar.gz, you can simply under App actions > environment variables, set t he NODE_PATH to this folder.

so for example if in the archive twit can be found in /program/server/node_modules. You can set the NODE_PATH to /bundle/program/server/node_modules.

This issue should be resolved. All new deployments should have native bcrypt installed. Please update if you continue to face the issue on all new deployments.
