Unable to deploy a node.js project on Azure, Bcrypt is the culprit

Question

I am currently working on a node.js project which is deployed on Azure. I just added password encryption using bcrypt. Everything is fine on my test computer but when I deploy on Azure, the deployment failed and I've got this message :

node-gyp rebuild
C:\DWASFiles\Sites\invata\VirtualDirectory0\site\wwwroot\node_modules\bcrypt>node  "D:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-   gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild 
gypnpm ERR! bcrypt@0.7.6 install: `node-gyp rebuild`
npm ERR! `cmd "/c" "node-gyp rebuild"` failed with 1
An error has occurred during web site deployment.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the bcrypt@0.7.6 install script.

BCrypt installation is a bit tricky as it required to download and install openSSL. So is there a possibility to deploy such module on azure or is it hopeless ?

Thanks, Stéphane

Answer 1

经过一番调查，我遇到了另一个bcrypt模块，这个模块是一个本机JS模块，它在Azure上运行完美： https ： //github.com/shaneGirish/bcrypt-nodejs

I just encountered this problem myself.

After searching for a solution for the past hour, the following worked flawlessly for me:

1. Goto your Web App console (found in the web app Tools )
2. type: npm install bcrypt

i received no output following the command, but going into the Web App node_modules folder i found bcrypt and all its dependencies there.

continuous deployment worked flawlessly ever since, hope this helps others!
