How to run in a serverless env?

[ScottChapman]

I am running into a problem running my Probot in IBM Cloud Functions (Openwhisk). It appears that it thinks I am running in a browser rather than running in NodeJS.

I think my issue is related to this: octokit/auth-app.js#59

When I initially ran it told me to convert my key to pkcs8. Which I did, but then I got the error that atob was not defined.

It runs perfectly locally when I am debugging.

To run this serverless I am using webpack to generate a single javascript file. My config looks like:

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    webhook: './actions/Webhook.js',
    probot: './actions/Probot.js',
  },
  target: 'node',
  output: {
    filename: '[name].js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
  },
  optimization: {
    minimize: false
  }
};

Not sure what I am missing here...

maybe this workaround will work for your webpack setup?

Thanks, I'm not super familiar with webpack, so not clear in this case what my above config would look like? But I am willing to try a few things... I did try this (based on first comment):

const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack')

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    webhook: './actions/Webhook.js',
    probot: './actions/Probot.js',
  },
  target: 'node',
  output: {
    filename: '[name].js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
  },
  optimization: {
    minimize: false
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
        /universal-user-agent\/dist-web\/index\.js/,
        "../dist-src/index.js"
      )
  ]
};

and

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    webhook: './actions/Webhook.js',
    probot: './actions/Probot.js',
  },
  target: 'node',
  output: {
    filename: '[name].js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
  },
  optimization: {
    minimize: false
  },
  resolve: {
    // ...
    alias: {
      "universal-user-agent": path.resolve(
        __dirname,
        "node_modules/universal-user-agent/dist-src/index.js"
      )
    }
  }
};

Neither worked...

universal-user-agent shouldn't be the problem any more, as long as you have the latest version in your dependency tree.

I think the package cause you the problem is https://github.com/gr2m/universal-github-app-jwt/

I'm running universal-user-agent@6.0.0 and universal-github-app-jwt@1.1.0 which both look pretty current.

not sure how to resolve this (stuck on Node v12)

This is a build issue outside of the scope of probot. Now that we have ES Modules and a standard from Node on conditional exports, that problem should go away for good once we move to it. But that will take a while.

A good issue to follow is octokit/octokit.js#2128. Once we finished migrating all Octokit packages, we can migrate probot as well
