Hi I've stumbled upon this error while trying to deploy my new code to our test environment but all of sudden it crashes.
Works just fine on my machine but suddenly on AWS it crashes on deploys.
eb-activity.log

Looking deeper into the logs it says

I'm letting CodeShip deploy all the code, which packages the node_modules and uploads it to AWS.
But now when I'm trying to do a $ eb deploy DEV-APP --profile dev it works just fine.
> hummus@1.0.95 install /tmp/deployment/application/node_modules/hummus
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build $EXTRA_NODE_PRE_GYP_FLAGS
node-pre-gyp WARN Using request for node-pre-gyp https download
[hummus] Success: "/tmp/deployment/application/node_modules/hummus/binding/hummus.node" already installed
Pass --update-binary to reinstall or --build-from-source to recompile
Only when I let CodeShip do my deploys, it does not work at all.
Ok so I did conclude that my own deploy didn't add node_modules to the S3 bucket, which CodeShip added.
Therefore I just added a deploy script to remove node_modules before deploying to elastic beanstalk.
