Within a docker build, Modules dependant on node-gyp fail (only where npm-shrinkwap in use)
See original GitHub issueNot sure which is the best place for this,
We are using a number of npm packages which in turn have a dependancy on node-gyp,
i.e. my project does not directly use node-gyp
We run npm-install as part of our docker image build process…
When I put a npm-shrinkwrap.json in place the npm install is failing due to errors relating to python not being in place…
gyp ERR! configure error

Maybe I need to include a python install as part of pre-build
But my confusion is, why is would fail for this reason only when the npm-shrinkwrap is in place?

My solution was to modify my docker image to install the dependancies of node-gyp: make, GCC and python
So that the node-gyp script could run.
As to why the behaviour is different from the shrinkwrap non skrinkwrapped is still a bit of a mystery to me
Hi, I can’t share the exact Dockerfile, as it’s not an open source project, for now I’ll create a gist…
https://gist.github.com/vidhill/0a85dc1848feee4171944dc4d7757895
-this is an untested Dockerfile because I’m off to bed now… if this doesn’t help I can create a proper mini-project
