Nodejs deployment issues with NPM package

1

Issues with deploying a nodejs web service. The build goes trough with OK status, but cannot start the service because of missing package. The render.com displays the log file, but trough the shell it cannot be accessed. The file does not exist.

Build command: cd flights-api && npm install
Start command: cd flights-api && npm run start
(tried adding npm i --save objection in both commands, without changing the result)

package.json dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "@sentry/node": "^5.11.0",
    "apollo-errors": "^1.9.0",
    "dotenv": "^8.2.0",
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    "graphql-middleware-sentry": "^3.2.1",
    "graphql-yoga": "^1.18.3",
    "knex": "^0.21.21",
    "knex-logger": "^0.1.0",
    "lodash": "^4.17.21",
    "merge-graphql-schemas": "^1.7.6",
    "node-cache": "^5.1.2",
    "node-fetch": "^2.6.1",
    "objection": "^2.2.15",
    "pg": "^8.7.1",
    "winston": "^3.2.1"
  }

Build logs:

Hi @Peter_Kulcsar_Szabo, welcome to the Render community!

I took a look at your service and it seems that you have been able to deploy successfully a few times since this issue occurred. I have tried to reproduce this issue and it appears that npm is installing the module correctly. Can you let me know if you are still having trouble using objection 2.2.15 and if not, can you share what you did to fix it?
