NPM Dependency error During Flowise AI Deployment to SAP BTP Cloud Foundry

Question

We are currently working on deploying the Flowise AI application to SAP BTP Cloud Foundry and are facing an issue during the deployment process. I’m hoping someone here can help with insights or solutions.

1. Use Case: We are trying to deploy the Flowise AI application to BTP Cloud Foundry.

2. Source Code: The source code for Flowise AI is available on our GitHub repository: https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise.git

3. Local Setup: Locally, the application builds and runs fine using the following environment:

   • Node.js version: 18.20.3, 18.20.4, 20.15.1, 20.16.0, 22.7.0, 22.8.0
   • npm version: 10.7.0

   We are able to build the application locally using the following command:

   commands:
     - "npm install -g pnpm"
     - "pnpm install"
     - "pnpm run build"
   

4. Deployment to BTP Cloud Foundry: We now aim to deploy this application to the BTP Cloud Foundry environment. For this, we created a deployment descriptor (mta.yaml), which looks like this:

   _schema-version: "3.1"
   ID: flowise
   version: 0.0.1
   description: Flowise HTML5 Application
   parameters:
     keep-existing-routes: true
   modules:
     - name: flowise
       type: html5
       path: Flowise 
       parameters:
         disk-quota: 1024M
         memory: 1024M
         buildpack: nodejs_buildpack
         stack: cflinuxfs4
         instances: 1
       build-parameters:
         builder: custom
         commands:
           - "npm install -g pnpm"
           - "pnpm install"
           - "pnpm run build"       
   

The .mtar file is being successfully built with the above mta.yaml file, but when we attempt to deploy the .mtar to BTP Cloud Foundry, the app staging fails with the error:

BuildPackCompileFailed Error Details: The root cause of the failure appears to be a dependency issue. Here is a snippet of the error captured during the deployment process:

npm ERR! Found: @mendable/firecrawl-js@0.0.28

Could anyone provide some pointers or steps to resolve this issue effectively? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Troubleshooting Steps Tried

Ensured all packages were installed locally without issues using pnpm.

Attempted deploying with:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npm install --force

However, the error persists.

Verified the compatibility of Node.js and npm versions across local and deployment environments and checked the compatible versions available in SAP BTP cloudfoundary NodejsBuildpack and version.
