missing script "build"

[madelacerda]

hello all!

i just downlaoded this template to work on a node project for shopify but when im trying to build the docker image to deploy this project into our services on AWS, im getting the error that there is no script for the build command inside my package.
and after checking the package inside the front there is no build command, so why the dockerfile uses that command on the line: RUN cd frontend && npm install && npm run build?

• @shopify/shopify-app-express version: 2.1.3
• Node version: 18
• Operating system: windows 11

Hi @madelacerda, what is the content of package.json inside frontend?

[madelacerda]

Hi @matteodepalo ! my package.json looks like this:
{
"name": "shopify-app-template-node",
"version": "1.0.0",
"private": true,
"license": "UNLICENSED",
"scripts": {
"debug": "node --inspect-brk index.js",

"serve": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node index.js"
},
"type": "module",
"engines": {
"node": ">=14.13.1"
},

That seems to be the package.json inside web, but what about web/frontend? I see in the Dockerfile we copy web in . so frontend should become something you can cd into.

inside my web frontend there is no package, i just added there a index.html with an iframe, i just wanna build the docker image for this node project so we can deploy it in AWS, but im having this issue with the dockerfile.
because right now i have 2 package.json one on the root of the project and the one insisde web

What about trying to change the Dockerfile to not cd into frontend and simply call build at the top level?
