[BUG]: Docker file builds successfully but raises error "Cannot find module '@activepieces/shared'" when testing/running

[coglmn]

Describe the bug

Two Docker file related issues to report:

1. When the provided Dockerfile is used to build the project using 'docker build' it builds successfully. However, when trying to test/run/deploy, it raises the following error:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1137
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '@activepieces/shared'
Require stack:

• /usr/src/app/dist/packages/server/api/main.js
  at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1134:15)
  at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:975:27)
  at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1225:19)
  at require (node:internal/modules/helpers:177:18)

  at (webpack:///src/main.ts:93:37) {
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: [ '/usr/src/app/dist/packages/server/api/main.js' ]
  }

Node.js v18.19.1

2. Another observation/question is that PNPM version that is used in the Docker file ([email protected]) does not match the one in package.json ( "pnpm": "8.6.12"). This is maybe an unrelated matter but may create other issues during runtime?

To Reproduce

Building the docker image using a standard build command:

sudo DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build . -t activcepieces_tag1

it builds successfully

then, running/testing it (it does not make a difference if providing the env file/variables or not):

sudo docker run -it activcepieces_tag1

it raises the reported error.

Expected behavior
To build and run the project successfully using the provided Docker file.

Screenshots
Can be replicated using the above command lines.

Additional context
None.

Hii @coglmn

Can you try it with at least these environment variables defined here:

https://www.activepieces.com/docs/install/options/docker

and replace the docker image with your tag offline, let me know if that fixes the issue.

[coglmn]

Thank you, @abuaboud. I ran it with the environment variables defined in that page. It raises the same error and does not run (removing -d below to see the error):

sudo docker run -p 8080:80 -v ~/.activepieces:/root/.activepieces -e AP_QUEUE_MODE=MEMORY -e AP_DB_TYPE=SQLITE3 -e AP_FRONTEND_URL="http://localhost:8080" docker_image_tag

Console output:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1137
throw err;
^
