Could not resolve node_module dependency when running on Fargate

[zatlodan]

Running artillery run-fargate command via docker.
I encounter the following error when adding a custom flow function which uses any node_module dependency:

ERROR: Could not resolve "<dependency-name>"

Full Task log: log-events-viewer-result.csv

Version info:

artilleryio/artillery:latest

Minimal example repository:

All other details are seen in the minimal example repository I have prepared.

https://github.com/zatlodan/artillery-issue-minimal

nvm use

yarn

cp .env.example .env

# Add your AWS credentials
nvim .env

yarn run:cloud

# Inspect the task output to see the error

Notes

The same behavior can be observed even when running npx artillery run-fargate without docker.

This is what we have experienced as well. Due to artillery's concurrent issue, we are trying to use ioredis dependency to run stress test on Fargate, however we were getting "worker error, id: 1 Error: Cannot find module 'ioredis'" error from fargate. Seems to me that fargate does not have the right npm context except the plugins that are recognized by artillery.

What's the best practice to run with external npm dependencies? @hassy
