I got the following folder structure:
diaryapp
nodes_modules
express
jade
mongoose
public
routes
views
app.js
package.json
git pushing this to my Joyent Machine will cause a lot of npm errors. I can avoid them by adding mongodb and mongoose to my package.json dependencies, but the service won't start.
I know this is a very small amount of information, if you need further information specify the kind and I ll update my post.
The output:
git push diaryapp.no.de master

To solve all issues I had to add the devDependencies of mongoose's package.json to the myapp package.json incl. mongoose dependency.
To make this all Joyent SmartMachine node-service ready you have to add
{ "start": "node app.js" }
to your package.json, otherwise node-service does not know which .js to execute as primary.
I will post my entire success story step by step this evening
Since your error is remote: uncaught: Error: Cannot find module 'should' that means you forgot to include the should module as a dependency in package.json.
Ex:
...
"dependencies" : {
...
"should": "0.5.1"
}
...
