ERROR – Failed to find package.json in Elastic Beanstalk environment creation (v1)

Question

Hi folks! I tried to do the Elastic Beanstalk lab (Insults v1) but when AWS goes to create the v1 version of the environment it presents the following error: Failed to find package.json. Node.js may have issues starting. Verify package.json is valid or place code in a file named server.js or app.js.

I have cloned the git lab structures, zipped v1 folder, uploaded a ZIP file containing all v1 files with all folder structure and followed the instructions. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Andre,

You might want to be sure that your zip file does have the v1 folder as it’s root…that it’s not somehow being zippped as /v1/. Not sure of your OS, but rather than right-click on the folder, go into the folder and highlight all files in there then select Compress or Zip or whatever your OS uses.
