Missing package 'debug' for Express Application about alpine-node HOT 9 CLOSED

No idea – can you give some idea of what your app looks like? What dependencies does it have? What's the main file you're running (index.js?)

from alpine-node.

Interestingly, when I was testing some things out with installing express, I found the following Node.js bug: nodejs/node#6679 – so try with mhart/alpine-node:5 and see if that fixes things – if so, then you've run into the same bug.

from alpine-node.

This looks like it. I tried changing the working directory and it solved the problem. I think it would be a good idea to change the working directory in the image itself.

I disagree – the working directory of this base image should stay at the root, as it does for its parent (and the official node docker image) as there's no actual source or project files in this image. When a consumer adds a project or source in their Dockerfile, then they should specify whatever working directory they want (as shown in the example on the README).

Glad you solved the problem though! Hopefully that bug with v6 will be solved soon

I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the help!

Hi, I have the same problem but with morgan module, and I use mhart/alpine-node:latest. But when i build my docker image from mhart/alpine-node:5 it works fine. And i can't understand why?

@poison766 this comment explains why – it's a bug in Node v6.

from alpine-node.

I read it. But when I use official image node:latest everything work fine without any problems

@poison766 ah, your question seemed to be why it worked in mhart/alpine-node:5 and not in mhart/alpine-node:latest

Have you tried setting your WORKDIR as specified in the example?
