Error: Cannot find module 'ejs'

[lukepolo]

When building for production and running, we run into an issue that it cannot find the ejs.

It seems relevant to : expressjs/express#910

I think I will also have an issue with the static assets path (I can by copying over the static assets, but not the paths)

A simple test is to use webpack , do a build , copy the dist to a folder and try running it. (It should fail)

Can you elaborate on your setup / versions?

[lukepolo]

I’ll make a repo here tmw

Here is a test repository

I was able to get it to work by adding

app.engine('ejs', require('ejs').__express);

function createBullBoard(bullQueues) {
    const bullBoardQueues = new Map();
    const app = express_1.default();
    app.locals.bullBoardQueues = bullBoardQueues;
    app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
    app.engine('ejs', require('ejs').__express);
    app.set('views', path_1.default.resolve(__dirname, '../dist/ui'));
    app.use('/static', express_1.default.static(path_1.default.resolve(__dirname, '../static')));
    app.get(['/', '/queue/:queueName'], entryPoint_1.entryPoint);

I was going to go change it , but master seems to be pretty different than the latest version published on NPM

I don't see any code that uses bull-board in your example.

You can make a PR against the latest v2, or try the version ;)

I've fixed it at v3.2.9

Thank you for the fix 🙏🏼

Try it :]
