Pm2: Wrong CWD using pm2-runtime

[daaru00]

What's going wrong?

When using pm2-runtime process.yml current working directory passed to NodeJS script become: ./process.yml/ as a "directory parameters" or somethings similar.

Set "cwd" app's option configuration in process.yml does not made any difference, seems completely ignored.

How could we reproduce this issue?

I follow Docker guide and created a process.yml file:

apps:
  - script: ./node_modules/nuxt-start/bin/nuxt-start.js
    name: 'app'
    instances: 'max'
    exec_mode: cluster
    env: 
      NODE_ENV: 'production'

then set Docker entrypoint to /usr/bin/pm2-runtime process.yml (guide suggest to use CMD ["pm2-runtime", "process.yml"] that has the same effect) and Nuxt fail during start-up:

Error: No build files found in /app/process.yml/.nuxt/dist/server. 

my app reside in /app (as volume), so you can notice the wrong CWD "/app/process.yml/" passed to script.

Same error using pm2-runtime start ecosystem.config.js:

Error: No build files found in /app/ecosystem.config.js/.nuxt/dist/server

[jsjain]

And again FATAL No build files found in /docker-.../pm.config.js/.nuxt/dist/server

[k90mirzaei]

I have same issue @jsjain, Did you find any solution?

[jsjain]

giving the cwd, fixed it for me

[mercs600]

@jsjain cwd in ecosystem file ? can you give an example ?

[jsjain]

yeah sure, cwd: '/user/src/app' assuming this is where your code is. and along with it script will still be the same script: ./node_modules/nuxt-start/bin/nuxt-start.js

[mercs600]

thanks @jsjain, but finally I changed my script in ecosystem, because our app is working in workspace and I don't want to setup fixed path to cwd so it looks now:

  script: './node_modules/nuxt/bin/nuxt.js',
  args: `-c ${join(__dirname, 'packages/your-app/nuxt.config.js')}`,

additionally you have to change rootDir in nuxt.config

rootDir: __dirname,
