package.json not found when instantiating node.js chaincode in Hyperledger Fabric 1.1

Question

I successfully configured a network with a few peers and one channel. I installed my chaincode successfully through the CLI container, but can't seem to instantiate it. When I run the instantiation command, it just hangs but it does create the container for the chaincode which exits because it cannot find the package.json in /usr/local/src/package.json .

What am I missing?

Here's the docker logs output for the chaincode container:

npm ERR! path /usr/local/src/package.json
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/local/src/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /root/.npm/_logs/2018-06-01T13_47_55_486Z-debug.log

Answer 1

Make sure you install the chaincode from the right directory. I installed mine from the root of the chaincode's folder, instead of the node folder within the chaincode's folder. If you use go you will need to install from the go folder.
