Npm error while when packing bcrypt as an external modules

[sudsbangs]

This is a (Bug Report / Feature Proposal)

Description

I am using "serverless-webpack": "^5.6.1", which uses bcrypt npm package. I have no issues in building the native modules using my docker which uses an alpine image mentioned here https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/wiki/Installation-Instructions#rhel-and-centos. However when theserverless-webpack starts packing external modules it comes back with error Error: npm install failed with code 1 at ChildProcess. (/usr/src/app/node_modules/serverless-webpack/lib/utils.js:91:16) at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:400:28) at ChildProcess.emit (domain.js:475:12) at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:1058:16) at Socket.

For bug reports:

• What went wrong? Error: npm install failed with code 1
• What did you expect should have happened? should have successfully bundled the webpack with externals bcrypt
• What was the config you used? externals: { bcrypt: 'bcrypt', }
• What stacktrace or error message from your provider did you see? Error: npm install failed with code 1 at ChildProcess. (/usr/src/app/node_modules/serverless-webpack/lib/utils.js:91:16) at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:400:28) at ChildProcess.emit (domain.js:475:12) at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:1058:16) at Socket. (internal/child_process.js:443:11) at Socket.emit (events.js:400:28) at Socket.emit (domain.js:475:12) at Pipe. (net.js:686:12) For feature proposals:
• What is the use case that should be solved. The more detail you describe this in the easier it is to understand for us. when using bcrypt the serverless-webpack fails to bundle
• If there is additional config how would it look

npm install failed with code 1 means the installation has failed, the current implementation swallowed stderr from the npm process but you may manually run them in an alpine shell docker run -it --rm alpine to see what is the actual error.

From my experience it could be caused by bcrypt not having a pre-built binary for alpine, and docker alpine does not comes with build tools. Another possibility is that alpine does not come with the necessary crypto libraries.

Either way you should install them before running serverless-webpack, hence the subsequent npm install spwan by it.

Thanks @vicary for answering. Yeah i did some pre-build for bcrypt using alphine docker image. I will try and give it a go as per your suggestion.
