How to fix: The feature watch recursively is unavailable on the current platform, which is being used to run Node.js - node.js

I am trying to run a typescript express.js in a docker container. After running the docker I get the following error:
> ts-node-dev src/app.ts
Using ts-node version 8.10.1, typescript version 3.9.2
TypeError [ERR_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE_ON_PLATFORM]: The feature watch recursively is unavailable on the current platform, which is being used to run Node.js

P.S. I have decided to include the fix:
change the Dockerfile:
FROM node:lts-alpine
and change the package.json:
"start": "ts-node-dev src/app.ts --poll"

Node v14 introduced a breaking change to the fs.watch() API, specifically that the recursive option (which has never been supported on Linux) now raises the ERR_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE_ON_PLATFORM error if used on Linux.
A bug report and fix have been submitted to filewatcher: https://github.com/fgnass/filewatcher/pull/6
Until that fix is merged and a new version released, you'll need to stick to NodeJS < v14, or override the filewatcher package installed locally to include that patch.

It seems this error caused by node.js v14, to fix it use this command:
ts-node-dev --poll src/app.ts
Or you can use another version of node.js rather than version 14

As you can see I already tried implementing a posinstall script with no luck. I have already tried shifting around multiple prisma commands (migrate dev, migrate deploy, generate) into every possible position of my Dockerfile with no luck - always the same error. On my device I NEVER had to manually generate a client and before i implemented prisma the application could be built just fine. I have no more ideas what to look for.
any help is appreciated.
Furthermore i habe already tried leaving out enironment variables and instead hardcoding the values, which did not work either
I also tried running RUN npm i -g prisma befor a prisma generate in my Dockerfile

Why aws app runner looks trying to build packages on node 12 even if node 14 is selected?

I'm trying to generate a build of our Next.js application that is on a Github repository. We used node 14.19.3 to build the application, and it runs fine on local development.

To create the service, I selected nodejs 14 platform and put these build commands in the app runner user interface:
export VARIABLE=value; npm install; npm run build
*The variable is an env variable necessary to import some private packages.
And this running commands in the app runner user interface:
npm start
The build logs show the message:
"[Build] \u001b[0m\u001b[91mError: The module '/app/node_modules/canvas/build/Release/canvas.node'\n",
"[Build] was compiled against a different Node.js version using\n",
"[Build] NODE_MODULE_VERSION 72. This version of Node.js requires\n",
"[Build] NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. Please try re-compiling or re-installing\n",
I removed the private package and then project builds successfully on app runner. But I just can't reproduce the same problem on my local machine.
The error on message was reported previously on Stack Overflow, always relating to the use of another version of node than the current used one. It is always solved by reinstalling, rebuilding, and/or clearing the npm cache. But app runner creates the container from scratch.
The interface shows that we are using Node js 14 environment. But it seems running on the Node js 12 platform when running npm run build command. At least for the canvas module build.
It could be a package conflict case. But, why this shows the message like it was build in node 12? Why the same problem does not happens in my local development even if I'm using same node and npm present in App Runner?
It is not a definitive complete answer to the question, but run yarn install; yarn build instead npm make the same code runs on app runner.

Travis CI showing build error for my expressjs app despite showing all tests passed

I have integrated Travis CI into my github repo called Banka which contains expressjs application and some html and css files.
On building, travis shows all my test which I wrote in mocha and chai as passing but yet it finally reports "build error" and surprisingly enough, can't point where the error is.
I changed to latest node and npm versions and still, no change
--package.json
{
"name": "Banka",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node ./bin/www",
"test": "mocha"
},
"engines": {
"node": "~10.15.3",
"npm": "~6.4.1"
},
"dependencies": {
"bcrypt": "^3.0.5",
"body-parser": "~1.8.1",
"chai": "^4.2.0",
"chai-http": "^4.2.1",
"cookie-parser": "~1.3.3",
"debug": "~2.0.0",
"dotenv": "^1.2.0",
"express": "~4.9.0",
"express-jwt": "^3.0.1",
"jade": "~1.6.0",
"jsonwebtoken": "^5.0.2",
"mocha": "^6.1.2",
"morgan": "~1.3.0",
"passport": "^0.2.2",
"passport-local": "^1.0.0",
"request": "~2.51.0"
}
}
Here is what Travis is showing : https://travis-ci.com/NawasNaziru/Banka/builds/108177363
I expect to see "build passing" since, all my tests passed.
The cause of the problem is that mocha doesn't close and handover to Travis after running the written tests. Hence, the reason why, travis reports timeout. To fix that, simply add the --exit flag in your package.json next to mocha like this
{
"test" : "mocha --exit"
......
}

Why does NodeJS require me to use the full directory for downloaded modules?

For something like Express for example, which does not come with Node by default. I have to use var express = require('C:/Users/User/node_modules/express'); instead of just var express = require('express');. I notice the modules which come by default such as http aren't in the same location as the ones I install. So what do I need to do in order to not have to write the whole directory. If it makes any difference I keep all my Node projects in C:/Node/, not the default one.
This is happening because you probably don't have node modules installed locally. For that you need a package.json file which you can get by running
npm init
This will ask you some questions about your project and will set up node locally. A package.json file will be created which should look something like this (without dependencies).
{
"name": "express-project",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "Link to your repository"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"bcrypt": "^1.0.2",
"body-parser": "^1.17.2",
"chalk": "^2.0.1",
"compression": "^1.7.0",
"cookie-parser": "^1.4.3",
"cors": "^2.8.4",
"express": "^4.15.3",
"glob": "^7.1.2",
"moment": "^2.18.1",
"mongoose": "^4.11.3",
"morgan": "^1.8.2",
"passport": "^0.3.2",
"path": "^0.12.7",
"yargs": "^8.0.2"
}
}
You can then add the node modules you want by putting them in dependencies and running
npm install
If you want to add node modules from commond line you can use
npm install package-name --save

ember/npm addon with dependencies/ devDependencies

I have created an ember addon which relies on gulp derived packages to build, so in the addon it has the following in package.json.
When the addon is included in the main application, the build fails due to the various gulp modules being missing. The addon is in the devDependencies section of the main application.
The addon also builds into the main application when it is in through npm link. My question is how should the addon dependencies be handled so the main application builds without a local copy of the module?
Update: I think the problem is that the package does a gulp build after the postinstall which elevates the gulp devDependencies into real dependencies. Is this correct?

The addon's dependencies are needed to build application (that includes addon), should be listed in dependencies section. The devDependencies of a package that is included as dependency of another package, are ignored.
There is other solution to add packages into an application. You can create a blueprint in your addon that will be called every time an application build with it or install it.
