Json app declaration is not right

[gywbd]

I create a processes.json file following the document.

{
    "apps" : [
        {
            "name" : "test",
            "script" : "bin/www",
            "watch" : "true",
            "cwd" : "/Users/lscm/www/test",
            "env" : {
                "NODE_ENV" : "development"
            },
            "port" : 3000
        }
    ]
}

then I run "pm2 start processes.json" and get this error

path.js:313
        throw new TypeError('Arguments to path.resolve must be strings');
              ^

i checked the LINE 51 of "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/lib/Common.js", and console.log the app.script, it is undefined. then i change the processes.json and make it just and array, no "apps" field. the app.script gets the right value. but the I get another error

PM2 [ERROR] script not found : /Users/lscm/node/pm2/bin/www

Then I console.log the app variable in the Line 51 of Common.js. and I get this

{ name: 'cms-bbs',
  cwd: '/Users/lscm/www/cms-bbs',
  script: 'bin/www',
  watch: 'true',
  env: { NODE_ENV: 'development', pm_cwd: '/Users/lscm/node/pm2' },
  port: 3000,
  exec_interpreter: 'node',
  exec_mode: 'cluster_mode' }

So I think the "cwd" field does not work. and it just get the current directory where pm2 executed.

PM2 [ERROR] script not found : /Users/lscm/node/pm2/bin/www

pm_cwd: '/Users/lscm/node/pm2'

Maybe pm_cwd is overriding cwd?

[Unitech]

Which version of PM2 ?

[gywbd]

it is 0.8.6

i set the pm_cwd to /Users/lscm/node/pm2/bin/www. it still doesn't work. it looks like that pm2 will always set the pm_cwd to the current directory where pm2 executes

[soyuka]

Try updating:

npm update pm2 -g
pm2 updatePM2

[gywbd]

it works. thanks!

I tried updating:
npm update pm2 -g
pm2 updatePM2

and now pm2 stopped working altogether!!

[jshkurti]

@eligreg can you give us more details ?
What do you mean by stopped working ? Logs ?
Thanks

[ghost]

Thanks for the quick response. I solved my issue by updating node. Phew.

"env" : {
"NODE_ENV" : "dev"
}
}
]
}

@vijaybarnwal not sure why you are posting this on an old issue. Try ./index.js and make sure node is in your PATH.

[vijaybarnwal]

Even that does not work. Node is there in my path

[soyuka]

script not found : /var/www/projects/mystore/app/index.js

Means there is no such file as /var/www/projects/mystore/app/index.js. Please double check for typo's.

[vijaybarnwal]

Hi there is index.js exists in this path. When I run pm2 start /var/www/projects/mystore/app/index.js its working.

But with json file its giving error.
