TLDR; I want to be able to run serverless deploy from outside the app’s directory.
Directory structure:
├───DirectoryX (program that deploys other apps)
│ deployer-script.js
├───ServerlessApp (app to be deployed)
│ serverless.yml
│ package.json
│ functionOne.js
│ functionTwo.js
│ ...
│
...
I’m trying to programmatically assemble node applications and deploy them with serverless.
To achieve that, I have a program running on directory X, which assembles code in directory Y.
The outcome is a directory Y with a valid node application structure, containing source code, package.json and a serverless.yml.
The next step would be to remotely trigger serverless deploy so the source code gets packaged and deployed.
I cannot do that from the process running at directory X.
Locally, I have serverless installed as a global npm package, so I can run the command at the Y directory.
But in production, best case I can install serverless as a local npm package, so I can’t package and deploy an application outside the root of my current app’s directory.
Can you think of any way to make this happen?
I tried pointing from directory X at the absolute path location to the serverless script in the node_modules folder installed in app/directory Y.
The command crashes.
Any help would be appreciated.
