Please ignore devDependencies in deploynodeapp

[tmarrs]

I can't deploy on Apigee with my package.json "as is" with the -R option because the devDependencies that I use (e.g., gulp, etc.) are too large and exceeds the Proxy Bundle limit. As a workaround, I have to do the following:

• Do npm install --production
• Use the -U option

But this is still a defect. Please fix your deployment tool to use npm install --production. That way, you're just pulling in the dependencies from package.json, and everything works as expected.

Fixing this requires a change to Apigee Edge, because that's where NPM runs when apigeetool asks it to. I opened issue APIRT-2452 to track the resolution of this within Apigee.

[tmarrs]

Thanks for opening this issue within Apigee. Please let us know if/when it's resolved.

@gbrail any updates here?

I've got someone looking at this and will update when we know something.

We have a PR inflight on Apigee Edge for the necessary API changes, to make --production the default when running npm install, as well as #90 here that toggles this flag when you want to install the devDependencies.

We will update this issue when the fixes are merged and released.

We are still waiting on API changes to release. When those changes are released, we will cut a new release of apigeetool to publish this fix/change.
