Can I reference a module as the path for a NextjsSite I want to deploy with sst? Currently I get an error on the below code (

The system cannot find the path specified.

), perhaps because node_modules is not recognized as a directory due to being in .gitignore. Possible I am making a basic mistake. My use case is: • Want to deploy a NextjsSite from a separate repository, which I have installed into

node_modules

• That'll let me be able to develop the separate repository cleanly - I'll update it when I need to - instead of having to have the whole source code for my Next.js app inside the

sst

project

Copy code

import * as sst from "@serverless-stack/resources";

export default class MyStack extends sst.Stack {
  constructor(scope, id, props) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    // Create a Next.js site
    const site = new sst.NextjsSite(this, "cloakist-notion-nextjs", {
      path: "node_modules/cloakist-notion-nextjs",
      environment: {
        // Pass the table details to our app
        REGION: scope.region,
      },
    });

    // Show the site URL in the output
    this.addOutputs({
      URL: site.url,
    });
  }
}

Interesting approach. I'll let @Frank chime in as he's more familiar with our static sites. We typically recommend monorepo structures until boundaries can be very explicitly defined

@Louis Barclay does the

node_modules/cloakist-notion-nextjs

directory exist?

Also can you share the full output from leading up to the

The system cannot find the path specified.

error?

Louis Barclay

Yes it does

View of my file structure

View of cloakist-notion-nextjs folder which is within node_modules

Frank

@Louis Barclay Thanks for the details!

Frank

If you go into

node_modules/@serverless-stack/resources/dist

, open up

NextjsSite.js

, and look for the

buildApp()

function.

Try console log

cmd

and

sitePath

. And we can try running the command in the terminal and see if we get the same result.

I get this:

So it passes the

!fs.existsSync(sitePath)

test. The error message 'The system cannot find the path specified.' is not coming from this file, not sure where it's coming from

Louis Barclay

I wonder if it's some weirdness from me using Windows

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:12 AM

This appears to be where it's breaking

Louis Barclay

I get 'reaches here' log but not the ones after:

Actually sorry, that's not true. It's breaking within buildApp here, as evidenced by the error message and the fact that the logs for sitePath and cmd work just before these lines:

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:17 AM

Ah, so now I see that 'cmd' should in theory work in terminal, i.e. running this:

Copy code

node C:\Users\louis\Documents\Dev\Cloakist\cloakist-sotion\node_modules\@serverless-stack\resources\assets\NextjsSite\build.js --path C:\Users\louis\Documents\Dev\Cloakist\cloakist-sotion\node_modules\cloakist-notion-nextjs --output C:\Users\louis\Documents\Dev\Cloakist\cloakist-sotion\.build\node_modules-cloakist-notion-nextjs-1635898523183 --config eyJjd2QiOiJDOlxcVXNlcnNcXGxvdWlzXFxEb2N1bWVudHNcXERldlxcQ2xvYWtpc3RcXGNsb2FraXN0LXNvdGlvblxcbm9kZV9tb2R1bGVzXFxjbG9ha2lzdC1ub3Rpb24tbmV4dGpzIiwiYXJncyI6WyJidWlsZCJdfQ==

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:18 AM

I get the same error -

The system cannot find the path specified.

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:18 AM

So I'm thinking this is a Windows thing

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:20 AM

Maybe a Windows + Node.js thing. I just tried switching to a newer version of Node.js (16.9.0) and it didn't fix

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:26 AM

Hmm, I can't figure it out. Very likely some weird Windows thing

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:29 AM

When I try run a different command with a similar 'long' URL, it works, e.g.

node C:\Users\louis\Documents\Dev\Cloakist\cloakist-api\tools\check-from-email

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:29 AM

I also tried adding quote marks around all URLs

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:31 AM

When I try run only

node "C:\Users\louis\Documents\Dev\Cloakist\cloakist-sotion\node_modules\@serverless-stack\resources\assets\NextjsSite\build.js"

I get

throw new Error("--path parameter is required");

suggesting that this first path is found

Louis Barclay

11/03/2021, 12:34 AM

When I run

node "C:\Users\louis\Documents\Dev\Cloakist\cloakist-sotion\node_modules\@serverless-stack\resources\assets\NextjsSite\build.js" --path "C:\Users\louis\Documents\Dev\Cloakist\cloakist-sotion\node_modules\cloakist-notion-nextjs" --config eyJjd2QiOiJDOlxcVXNlcnNcXGxvdWlzXFxEb2N1bWVudHNcXERldlxcQ2xvYWtpc3RcXGNsb2FraXN0LXNvdGlvblxcbm9kZV9tb2R1bGVzXFxjbG9ha2lzdC1ub3Rpb24tbmV4dGpzIiwiYXJncyI6WyJidWlsZCJdfQ==

I get

throw new Error("--output parameter is required");

, suggesting that the --path is also found. Although then when I run it with --output and without --path it asks for --path, so I think perhaps this is not interesting info
