Error with node.js deployment on Linux Azure web app

Question

I habe an azur app service (Linux), connected to a bitbucket git repository running.

When I try to deploy it, I get this error:

> lhfrontend@1.0.0 postinstall /home/site/wwwroot
> npm run webdriver:update

npm WARN invalid config loglevel="notice"

> lhfrontend@1.0.0 webdriver:update /home/site/wwwroot
> node ./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update

module.js:471
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/site/wwwroot/node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager'

npm ERR! Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:

Does any one have an idea, how to fix this?

Thanks in advance, Dennis

Check if you have installed protractor module. If not, run this command in your app's root:

npm install protractor

Or add this to the dependencies section of your package.json:

"dependencies": {
  "protractor": "^5.2.2"
}
