Hello. I’m following the guide, but commands are failing with

Error: Cannot find module 'SST'

. On Create an SST app, the commands were successful. On Create a Hello World API, this happens –

Copy code

Subprocess exited with error 1
There was an error synthesizing your app.

That not working, I then had some success with the commands per the README, e.g.

npm install

npm run deploy

but then

npm run remove

failed as above. Occam’s razor says it’s my environment somehow, but while I’m new to SST I have happily used Node / npm for many projects before. I’m stuck, and SST is so promising otherwise!

what version of sst are you on?

Toby Harris

Latest stable, i.e. I created the project with

Copy code

npx create-serverless-stack@latest notes

Toby Harris

package.json

says

Copy code

"dependencies": {
    "@serverless-stack/cli": "0.59.1",
    "@serverless-stack/resources": "0.59.1",
    "aws-cdk-lib": "2.7.0"
  }

can I see what's in sst.json ?

also can you share the contents of this file: /Users/tobyz/Documents/_SPARK/2022 SST Example/notes2/node_modules/@serverless-stack/cli/assets/debug-stack/bin/index.js

Sure, thanks for helping. It’s since occurred to me to check the version of Node I’ve got live at the moment, and it was somehow v14 not v16. So I’m retrying with that first.

Started afresh, no difference.

Copy code

> cat sst.json
{
  "name": "notes3",
  "region": "us-east-1",
  "main": "stacks/index.js"
}

Copy code

> cat node_modules/@serverless-stack/cli/assets/debug-stack/bin/index.js
#!/usr/bin/env node

const cdk = require("aws-cdk-lib");
const { Util } = require("@serverless-stack/core");
const { DebugStack } = require("../lib/DebugStack");

const stackName = process.argv[2];
const stage = process.argv[3];
const region = process.argv[4];
const appBuildLibPath = process.argv[6];

// Load environment variables from dotenv
Util.Environment.load({
  searchPaths: [`.env.${stage}.local`, `.env.${stage}`],
});

// If region is not defined in `sst.json` or through the cli command, it will be
// passed in as "undefined". We need a better way to pass and parse region. Maybe
// via `--region`.
const env = {
  account: process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_ACCOUNT,
  region: region === "undefined" ? process.env.CDK_DEFAULT_REGION : region,
};
const app = new <http://cdk.App|cdk.App>();
const stack = new DebugStack(app, stackName, { env, stage });

// Allow user modify the debug stack
const handler = require(appBuildLibPath);
if (handler.debugStack) {
  handler.debugStack(app, stack, { stage });
}

Ah can you remove the spaces from the folder

thdxr

01/14/2022, 5:35 PM

Think we have an issue with that

Toby Harris

01/14/2022, 5:35 PM

Aaaah. Let me try.

Toby Harris

01/14/2022, 5:37 PM

Bingo.

Toby Harris

01/14/2022, 5:38 PM

I’m going to file a GitHub issue / comment on an existing one. For the searchability, if nothing else.

Toby Harris

01/14/2022, 5:38 PM

Thanks!

Toby Harris

01/14/2022, 5:39 PM

(postscript: there would have been no spaces if I’d gone straight to making the production stuff I need to do… so it goes!)
