node-persist error sometimes makes the application to crash about node-persist HOT 6 CLOSED

Anyone had a chance to look at this? I'm facing the same issue on my application

from node-persist.

could be related vercel/vercel#5066 (reply in thread)
in vercel.json you might need to include the .node-persist dir

this is NOT tested I do not have a vercel host

{
  "functions": {
    "app.js": { // <-- not sure about this value here

      "includeFiles": "/var/task/.node-persist/**" // or "includeFiles": "/var/task/.node-persist/**" 
    }
  }
}

from node-persist.

I included the path for all my serverless functions but I'm still getting the same error. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Error message:

vercel.json:

{
  "functions": {
    "pages/api/**/*.js": {
      "includeFiles": "/var/task/.node-persist/**"
    }
  }
}

from node-persist.

this error suggests that /var/task/ dir does not exists, it's failing to create .node-persist dir, using mkdir. this a system issue, or maybe vercel doesn't let you create directories or maybe you should create it in your project, put a .gitkeep in it and "includeFiles": ".node-persist/**" I really can't test this to be honest.

Yeah, turns out vercel doesn't let you use that path even if you explicitly include it. So I switched my storage dir to

await storage.init({ dir: '/tmp/node-persist', logging: true, ttl: 60000  })

and now it's working. Hopefully this solves it going forward.

Great!
