Bug Report

• At what date and time did you most recently experience the problem?

• 2nd April 2024

• Where did you experience the problem? E.g. Azure Web Apps, Azure Functions, Azure Container Registry, or offline use.
  Deploying to Azure app service

• If your repo is publicly available please share its URL:

• What happened?
  I have a typescript nodejs app. When deploy from vscode or the deployment center it fails because it does not support python v8, though this is not a python app.

• What did you expect or want to happen?
  -That it deploys. It did deploy previously and nothing has changed to the setup. There are simply a few code changes that are not significant.

I have seen a previous post that seems to say that oryx search node_modules and finds php code in there and so detects php incorrectly. Is this the problem and if so what can i do?

I think you are referencing my issue.😅
I solved the issue by adding a postinstall script to my package.json to delete the offending php file from the node_modules folder after install.

{
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "postinstall": "rimraf node_modules/flatted/php"
    ...
  }
}

rimraf needs to be added to your devDependecies too.
You can search your node_modules folder for any other modules that trigger Oryx too and add them to the postinstall command.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Peter, I found a problem with the build but it wasn't showing up in the logs, it just showed the php error. But your solution is good to know for future reference.
