Deployd won't run after install -- "Cannot find module 'deployd/lib/resource'"

[Offlein]

I have deployd installed in my home directory: ~/node/lib/node_modules/deployd/
I have a deployd project elsewhere in my home: ~/proj/

I followed the instructions, but when I re-run dpd from the command line, it spews out this:

Error loading module node_modules/dpd-importer
Error: Cannot find module 'deployd/lib/resource'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)

All looks to be in order, but I'm curious if maybe I need to set up some PATHs or something. Using deployd v0.6.11

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue, but with dpd-email

[Offlein]

I did NOT! I ended up coming up with my own code to handle the import -- which sucked. I suspect this might be a version thing? It'd be great to get a dev input though!

[dblapps]

I did find a workaround ... after installing node, I did this:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/node_modules /usr/lib/node

And the problem has not happened since.

Sorry about the late reply, but... Yes, that works for me too. I have no idea why. I'd love for the Deployd folks to weigh in..

You should install deployd in your app directory.

cd your-app
npm install deployd

Thanks @bengxia. I found installing deployd locally in my app directory solved this problem.

[renekorss]

On root foler

npm install deployd -g
cd your-app
npm link deployd

This way you don't need to have deployd on your app directory.

@renekorss Thanks!
