I'm trying to deploy to a simple WebRTC.io demo app (https://github.com/dougnukem/webrtc.io-demo) to nodejitsu, but when it's deployed (http://dougnukemwebrtc.jit.su/) it fails to serve the client-side javascript:
Cannot GET /webrtcio.js
It runs fine when I'm running it locally:
$ git clone https://github.com/dougnukem/webrtc.io-demo.git
$ cd webrtc.io-demo/
$ npm install
$ node example/server.js &
$ curl http://localhost:8000/webrtc.io.js
webrtc.io.js was actually a symlink, and npm and nodejitsu don't package and deploy those (https://github.com/nodejitsu/jitsu/issues/379).
$ ls -al example/public webrtc.io.js -> ../../node_modules/webrtc.io-client/lib/webrtc.io.js
So for now I put a workaround as a predeploy/postdeploy hack that copies the actually file into example/public/ from node_modules to be sent to the nodejitsu servers, and then revert it back to a symlink for local dev. There's probably a more elegant solution.
