node.js app with node-gyp fails to deploy on azure website

Limitation of web sites. See the native modules section of http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/nodejs-use-node-modules-azure-apps/.

The workaround/resolution is to install all the modules on a Windows dev box and include node_modules as part of the git deployment.

I recently successfully deployed a Node.js app/ Sails app running as an Azure web app that relies on Grunt and therefore needs support for node-gyp as well. At first I struggled with getting node-gyp to run on continuous deployment without including the node_modules folder but finally I succeded with a what you would hopefully call "graceful resolution". The steps that were necessary for me are:

  1. Make sure you use a somewhat up to date version of Node and NPM (as far as Azure allows you to do so: . In my case I used node 5.4.0 and npm 3.3.12. Deploying on Azure there is two ways I know of to do this:

    • Application settings: WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION 5.4.0 (or whatever)

    • Package.json file: Include the following:

      "engines": {    
    "node": "5.4.0",    
    "npm": "3.3.12"  
},

  2. Change the settings in the config/env/production.js file to give grunt more time to uglify or whatever. The default value of 20s seems to be too low for a lot of applications out there, however there might be better ways to solve this: https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/issues/2691 I put:

    hookTimeout: 60000, // 60 seconds

  3. I used a .deployment and deploy.cmd / deploy.sh (depending on your system) file to customize the deployment on the Azure platform. The guide I used was: http://www.cptloadtest.com/2013/12/03/Git-And-Grunt-Deploy-To-Windows-Azure.aspx

    EDIT: looks like my original command to run Grunt from deploy.cmd is incorrect, I am not familiar with bash scripts, sorry. I ended up using the script from this question with some modifications: Deploying a NodeJS App to Azure Websites fails on installing NPM packages from pagages.json from deploy.cmd?
    Using this script my grunt task runs on deployment. Here are the modified parts of my script.
    deploy.cmd:

    :: Setup
:: -----        

:: ... some default parts omitted

IF NOT DEFINED GRUNT_CMD (
  :: Install grunt
  echo Installing Grunt
  call npm --registry "http://registry.npmjs.org/" install grunt-cli
  IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error

  :: Locally just running "grunt" would also work
SET GRUNT_CMD=node "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\node_modules\grunt-cli\bin\grunt"
)

goto Deployment

:: Utility Functions
:: -----------------

:SelectNodeVersion

:: ... some default parts omitted

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:Deployment
echo Handling node.js deployment.
echo %DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%

echo 1. Select node version
call :SelectNodeVersion

echo 2. Install npm packages dev dependencies
IF EXIST "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\package.json" (
  pushd "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%"
  echo Cleaning NPM cache.
  call !NPM_CMD! cache clean
  call !NPM_CMD! install --development
  IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error
  popd
)        

echo 4. Run grunt prod task
pushd %DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%
call !GRUNT_CMD! --no-color prod
IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error
popd

echo 5. KuduSync
IF /I "%IN_PLACE_DEPLOYMENT%" NEQ "1" (
  call :ExecuteCmd "%KUDU_SYNC_CMD%" -v 50 -f "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%" -t "%DEPLOYMENT_TARGET%" -n "%NEXT_MANIFEST_PATH%" -p "%PREVIOUS_MANIFEST_PATH%" -i ".git;.hg;.deployment;deploy.cmd"
  IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error
)

echo 6. Install npm packages production
IF EXIST "%DEPLOYMENT_TARGET%\package.json" (
  pushd %DEPLOYMENT_TARGET%
  call !NPM_CMD! install --production
  IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error
  popd
)

  4. I then ran into this error: ENOTSUP using Grunt which was thankfully recently solved :)
    All that was left for me to do was to change the for deploy.sh given syntax to work in my deploy.cmd. So before running grunt from deploy.cmd I included:

    echo 3. Update erroneous glob dependency in Grunt 
pushd "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\node_modules\grunt"
call :ExecuteCmd !NPM_CMD! install glob@^6.0.4 --save
IF !ERRORLEVEL! NEQ 0 goto error
popd

I hope this helps some of you out there, although I am aware, that some of the issues I faced might be solved using up to date versions of node and npm. But since Azure does not out of the box provide the latest versions this might still be helpful for some of you.

EDIT:

Regarding:

  1. Node version choice:

    I tried to select the node version by only setting it in Package.json without changing the default settings in the Application settings (default version: 4.2.3) and I still got the following error: 

    Node.js versions available on the platform are: 0.6.20, 0.8.2, 0.8.19, 0.8.26, 0.8.27, 0.8.28, 0.10.5, 0.10.18, 0.10.21, 0.10.24, 0.10.26, 0.10.28, 0.10.29, 0.10.31, 0.10.32, 0.10.40, 0.12.0, 0.12.2, 0.12.3, 0.12.6, 4.0.0, 4.1.0, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 5.0.0, 5.1.1, 5.3.0, 5.4.0, 5.5.0.

    Like you can see it first states:

    Selected node.js version 5.4.0. Use package.json file to choose a different version.

    according to the Package.json file.
    However, later on in the error message this seems to have changed:

    gyp ERR! node -v v4.2.3

    To me it is not obvious why this error occurs since the version in the Package.json file should be overwriting the default in the Application settings. So to be sure just set both settings to a high enough version (not sure when the node-gyp problem was solved, but 5.4.0 seems to be working fine!).
