MERN project deployment fails (server side)

1

Hello, I try to deploy the server side of my MERN project. Deployment fails. It looks like start.js cannot be found, but this should be provided by the production runtime renvironment, I have no start.js in my code!? Here is the error log:

Error: Cannot find module '/opt/render/project/src/start.js'
Oct 28 09:08:14 PM      at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15)

Oct 28 09:08:14 PM    code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
Oct 28 09:08:14 PM    requireStack: []

My package.json looks like that:

{
  "name": "webshop",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node start.js",
    "dev": "nodemon start.js"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "^1.19.1",
    "cookie-parser": "^1.4.6",
    "cors": "^2.8.5",
    "dotenv": "^16.0.0",
    "express": "^4.17.2",
    "express-jwt": "^6.1.0",
    "express-validator": "^5.3.1",
    "formidable": "^2.0.1",
    "jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.1",
    "lodash": "^4.17.21",
    "mongoose": "^6.2.1",
    "morgan": "^1.10.0",
    "nodemon": "^2.0.15",
    "uuid": "^8.3.2"
  }
}

Node version is 16.13.1 (I set the env NODE_VERSION to 16.13.1 )

Thanks!

Deployment works, I use of course, “start” : “node index.js”, now however - how I expected it - the APIs do not work.

Hi there,

Please check your service logs from the Logs tab of your service. You should see the issue if you look at this.
