azure mobile services error cannot find module 'azure-storage'

I have been using Azure-storage npm module in my AzureMobileService custom API for past couple of months and all has been working fine, till couple of days back it started giving me this error - cannot find module 'azure-storage'. Its strange because I haven't changed my code a bit, actually the day it start giving me this error, I had checked my app(HTML/JS app) in the morning, it was all working good. But when I came back from work and ran the app, I got this error. below is the code in my custom api where I get this error

var azure = require('azure-storage');
var retryOperationFilter = new azure.ExponentialRetryPolicyFilter();
var tableService= azure.createTableService().withFilter(retryOperationFilter);

and I do have azure-storage included in my package.json -

"dependencies": {"tracer": "0.7.3", "colors" : "1.0.3", "lodash" :"2.4.1", "azure-storage": "0.4.1"},

I asked this question at 'Azure-storage' npm page, but didn't get much help, so now trying here; its been two days now and I haven't got it resolved, its very annoying and I am at my wits end. anyone out there has experienced same or may have any idea, will much appreciate if you can kindly share anything you may have got on this.

finally got it working by doing a manual npm install 'azure-storage' to my mobile service.

I never thought of trying a manual npm install because other node modules I have in my package.json (like tracer, lodash) work fine with no manual npm install. Also, as I remember reading, if I just include the npm module I want to use in my mobile service's package.json and push it, mobile service on the server installs it and restarts, and I don't need to install myself manually. And thats what has been happening when my code was working till last week.
