Do you have package-json.lock ?
Is it in your repository? Do you have it locally ? Is it necessary to compile assets on deployment?

Deploying issue
Hi,
I am trying to deploy a Laravel app on Digital Ocean through git. As it starts deploying I get to the point where: parsing package.json no file to start the server and then get an error which says package-lock.json does not exist.
I would highly appreciate it if anyone could help.
Please, see the error log:

Yes it is in my repo and locally. Just cloned again the repo and configured the app again and all worked locally.
Yes, I do use Vue and have to run npm install; npm run prod but it doesn't even get there :(.

@tudosm And you can see package-lock.json in project main directory?
Do you have it in .gitignore maybe? Or you have this maybe? https://stackoverflow.com/a/53169209/1457270

@Nakov, yes I see it locally and in my remote repo as well.

So do you have npm install step in your deployment script?

@tudosm don't do npm run dev on production.. Check my comment above.

@Nakov I have attached a link to an image of my logs.
Yeah, I should have prod but is just testing for now.

@tudosm so the issue is because you use different versions of npm on your local environment than on the production.
npm -v will tell you which version you use locally, so upgrade whichever uses older version.

That helped thank you so much.
Just figured out I am using locally npm v8+ while Digital Ocean default is still v6.
