deploy fails with: no such file or directory, open 'app/npm-follower/lib/broadcast.js'

[dougtoppin]

On a Cloud9 instance with node v10.15.3 I am getting this error on the deploy:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'app/npm-follower/lib/broadcast.js'

I am guessing that I am doing something wrong but reproduced this twice. In looking at ChangeLogs-md.js I think that the NpmFollower copydir is not copying /app/lib to app/npm-follower/lib but I am not sure why.

Steps to reproduce:

• nvm i 10.15.3
• npm run-script setup
• npm run-script deploy

I thought it might have something to do with the Cloud9 environment and my using nvm to update the node version but interestingly I have exactly the same error when doing the same on my MacBook Air (10.14.4) with:

$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node
$ node --version
v10.15.3

I created a symlink to ../lib in the app/npm-follower directory. Worked great.
