Cannot find module '../build/Debug/iconv.node' on OpenShift

Question

I'm trying to deploy a Node.js Wiki called Jingo on OpenShift:

Error: Cannot find module '../build/Debug/iconv.node'

I've tried running node-gyp configure and node-gyp build at the command line but I do not have sufficient rights. I have also tried including node-gyp configure and node-gyp build in the package.json file as an install script but get the following error:

Is there another way to install and configure node-gyp on OpenShift?

Answer 1

My resolution for this issue is rebuilding iconv inside module folder manually, or by adding script install in package.json like

  "scripts": {
    "start": "node server.js",
    "install": "cd node_modules/iconv; node-gyp rebuild"
  }

This will force rebuilding iconv.node after every automatic deployment by git push

UPD: Another approach is to add script in .openshift/action_hooks/build at the end of file:

# rebuilding iconv
if [ -f "${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/node_modules/iconv"/package.json ]; then
      echo "  - Rebuilding iconv ... "
      echo
      (cd "${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/node_modules/iconv/"; node-gyp rebuild)
