Edge cannot find module 'body-parser' when running server.js

[straut]

Anyone know why Edge would be complaining that it can't find the body-parser module? This used to work fine, but the message has been coming up in the last week or so. The module's used in a server.js that's called as a target endpoint. Thanks!

Output from the Edge UI:

*** Starting script

Lines 11 - 16 of my server.js:

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');


app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
    extended: true
}));

My installed Node modules:

Did you find a solution to this? I am facing the same issue

Hi @Shrawan Raina - Can you share the proxy bundle here ? Has worked for me previously. Would like to try your code and see if I can help

Hi @Sai Saran Vaidyanathan. Thank you for your comment; I got it to work. Had to locally install the body-parser module.

Found out what my trouble was. I ran into this problem because I was deploying my proxies (with a script), then installing the modules. As it turns out, proxies that use the modules (those with the Node.js script) must be deployed *after* the modules are installed. Apparently, they pick up some sort of module registration info when they're deployed.

@Steve Traut Hi, I believe I have the same issue but not clear on what you did to fix it. I am unable to upload a screenshot here, it will not let me but I will explain. Whenever I try the apigeetool to deploy my nodejs app, the node modules never finish uploading. I get the following error: Error: Error uploading resource node_modules\liftoff: 500.

If I leave out the node modules it works, but I need the modules obviously for the app to work. Can you please clarify what you did for yours to work?

Update: My issue is not the same sorry, your issue had to do with when the module is already uploaded, in mine it is not getting that far yet.

Thanks
