I have a OpenShift gear with the NodeJS and MongoDB cartridge installed. I have added KeystoneJS to and when I try to push the updated code, the build fails due to missing gyp module. Full error stack below.

Has anyone else faced missing gyp module of a node/mongo cartridge?

Thanks! Nirav

This error started to happen for me suddenly, too, even though it had worked before. For some reason the Python gyp module is either not available in the cartridge or cannot be found. Though I cannot tell what has changed I have found a workaround by upgrading the npm installation used for deployment.

For this I added two action hooks:

  1. .openshift/action_hooks/pre_build

    #!/bin/sh

#  We need to move the package.json file out of the way in pre_build, so
#  that the OpenShift git post-receive hook doesn't try and use the old
#  npm version to install the dependencies.
mv ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/package.json \
   ${OPENSHIFT_TMP_DIR}/${OPENSHIFT_APP_UUID}_package.json

  2. .openshift/action_hooks/build

    #!/bin/sh

#  we moved the package.json file out of the way in pre_build,
#  so that the OpenShift git post-receive hook doesn't try and use the
#  old npm version to install the dependencies. Move it back in.
mv ${OPENSHIFT_TMP_DIR}/${OPENSHIFT_APP_UUID}_package.json \
   ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/package.json

cd ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}

# We need an updated npm available for node-gyp to work reliable
npm install npm

# Now install the packages with the new npm version
./node_modules/.bin/npm install

The idea of using an alternative npm installation that way is taken from https://github.com/ryanj/nodejs-custom-version-openshift/tree/master/.openshift/action_hooks

I also tried using environment variables and setting $PYTHONPATH but had no success with that approach during build (although I got it to work on a manual install).
