Hi,

I’m updating my domitech app to the newest SDK3 and the homey-zwavedriver.  
(Source code: [GitHub - timkouters/nl.timkouters.domitech: This app adds support for Domitech devices in Homey.](https://github.com/timkouters/nl.timkouters.domitech))

When I run this app on my HomeyPro early 2019 version I constantly get the error that the homey-zwavedriver cannot be found (see below).  
Now the fun part, other user the do the checkout of the same code they can run the domitech app without any issues. These users are using the HomeyPro 2023 version.

Is there anything different between the 2019 and 2023 Pro version of Homey and should I therefor stick to the deprecated meshdriver?

Details of the crash:

Who can help me out?

The `node_modules` directory in your repo has many more files, so it’s not being uploaded to your Homey, likely because it’s mentioned in `.homeyignore` or `.gitignore`.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the quick reply.  
I’ve searched for the two files but they are not present on my local storage.

```auto
timkouters@dev-TimKouters:~/github2/nl.timkouters.domitech$ find . -name .gitignore
timkouters@dev-TimKouters:~/github2/nl.timkouters.domitech$ find . -name .homeyignore

```

I did read that for the new Homey CLI they excluded the node\_modules.  
See [Developer's update: Homey SDK tools | Homey](https://homey.app/en-ie/blog/developers-update-homey-sdk-tools/)

Kind regards,  
Tim

That’s not what that page says 🙂 Also, it’s a 3-year-old blog post.

But it does look like a local issue, the app installs just fine both on my HP2019 and HP2023:

```

Does `.homeybuild/node_modules` contain the `homey-zwavedriver` module?

Do you have a `.npmignore` file?

Hi,

I also think it’s a local issue.

I do have .npmignore files but not in the homey-zwavedriver.  
Furthermore, the .homeybuild does not contain any node\_modules directory.

```auto
timkouters@dev-TimKouters:~/github2/nl.timkouters.domitech$ find . -name .npmignore
./node_modules/mumath/.npmignore
./node_modules/almost-equal/.npmignore
./node_modules/stack-trace/.npmignore
./node_modules/uuid/.npmignore
timkouters@dev-TimKouters:~/github2/nl.timkouters.domitech$ cd .homeybuild/
timkouters@dev-TimKouters:~/github2/nl.timkouters.domitech/.homeybuild$ ls
app.js assets LICENSE package.json README.md
app.json drivers locales package-lock.json README.txt

```

Update from my side.  
If I manually copy the node\_module folder to the .homeybuild directory and run the app with skipping the build all is working.

```auto
homey app run -s

```

The best way to debug this is to edit the file `App.js` in `$PREFIX/lib/node_modules/homey/lib` (where `$PREFIX` is the output of the command `npm prefix`, typically it’s `/usr/local`).

My guess is that the issue is happening somewhere in the `_copyAppProductionDependencies` method, so you should probably add a bunch of debug `console.log()` entries to see which steps it takes (and which it doesn’t).

Also, just in case: which version of `homey` do you have installed (`homey --version`)? The latest stable is `2.34.0`.

Hi Robert,

I’m indeed running version 2.34.0 of Homey.  
The issue is in the `npm list .` command.

```auto
timkouters@dev-TimKouters:~/github/nl.timkouters.domitech$ npm list .
nl.timkouters.domitech@2.0.0 /home/timkouters/github/nl.timkouters.domitech
└── (empty)

timkouters@dev-TimKouters:~/github/nl.timkouters.domitech$ npm list -g
/usr/local/lib
├── homey@2.34.0
└── npm@9.6.2

```

I’ve created a VM at my other PC with a new linux distro install.  
There I get proper output of ‘npm list .’

I’m going to re-install my laptop.

Thanks for helping me out.

Kind regards,  
Tim

I don’t see `homey` running that command, it runs:

```auto
npm ls --parseable --all --only=prod

```

(passing `.` is incorrect as argument as it requires a package spec, not a directory name)
