IBM Bluemix deployment fails for node.js app

Error when deploying a simple node.js app (which works locally):

ERR     mv: cannot move ‘/tmp/node-v0.10.40-linux-x64/bin’ to ‘/tmp/staged/app/vendor/node/bin’: Directory not empty

This fails with both the default node buildpack and the node sdk >cf push -b sdk-for-nodejs_v2_5-20150902-1526. The cf tail logs contain only the same mv errors.

Any hints?

Solution

  • What worked was to use the latest node.js buildpack:

    cf push -b https://github.com/cloudfoundry/buildpack-nodejs.git
