I'm stuck with the below scenarios. This is working fine on the local computer, however with GCP NodeJs is not working.
Problem - I have an API that generates QR-Images using https://www.npmjs.com/package/qr-image, then it creates a zip using https://www.npmjs.com/package/archiver. Once the archive is done, it uses the nodemailer(https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemailer) to send the mail.
Now, to store the generated image & archieve processing I'm using the fs
library of NPM.
GCP Configuration - It's dynamic/Flexi app engine where the node app is deployed.
The mkdir function is giving the problem. I don't want to use bucket for simple stuff. Is there any other way, I can use the existing code without a tweak to send mail using nodemail (after archiving files(qr codes))?
Tried the API on the local computer working. For the mail test using mailtrap.io which seems to be working well. But not with GCP.
It is clear some GCP tweak is needed or some node/express JS magic.
Code part which is triggering the error -
const codesFolder = 'codes';
if (!fs.existsSync(codesFolder)) {
fs.mkdirSync(codesFolder);
}
Error from the GCP Log -

CodePudding user response:
There is some confusion. Your post says you're using flex env but your comment says standard env.
If you're using Standard, then your code won't work because Standard doesn't allow you write to the local disk (see Google documentation)
CodePudding user response:
As @NoCommandLine was correct, earlier my app.YAML file was not containing the env attribute.
I have used flex with a little bit of tweak in YAML. The updated YAML will look like below -
runtime: nodejs
env: flex
env_variables:
# The following environment variables are set for all instances
# of the app.
NODE_ENV : "production"
beta_settings:
# The connection name of your instance, available by using
# 'gcloud beta sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME]' or from
# the Instance details page in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
cloud_sql_instances: <<<connection_name>>>
