NPM errors for meteor application using docker.

[rajpant]

Hi There,

I am running meteor application using nodeJS. I am using elasticsearch NPM package in meteor application.
when I start building docker image for my application it shows me following errors:

npm-container: updating npm dependencies -- elasticsearch...

I'm having the same issue under docker (different node modules, though).

Actually - this fixed it

@jamesabbottsmith Which answer fixed it. Still having the same problem?

[jamesabbottsmith]

michals answer did the trick.

Removing the meteor local directory will do the stuff working.

cd $WORKDIR
rm -fr .meteor/local

[dperetti]

Had the same problem, but the culprit was packages/npm-container/.npm
Using this .dockerignore fixed it.

.meteor/local
packages/*/.build*
packages/*/.npm*

@dperetti Thank you so much! I've been fighting this issue for a couple of days. Was already ignoring .meteor/local but adding the other 2 lines fixed things for me.
