Answer 1

* Docker related answer here *

Answer for if you are seeing this problem, or something similar, and are using Docker.

Cause: When copying over the current file structure to inside the Docker container, you may be copying over node modules from one OS system to another (e.g. a Mac to Linux container).

Solution:

Add a .dockerignore, and inside add:

node_modules

This will cause an npm install to install the bindings for the docker environment, rather than your local machine environment.
