Admittedly, I'm a novice at GCloud. I "inherited" a project abandoned by the previous developer. I'm trying to deploy a node app on the app engine. The app won't start because it can't find the dist/server.js file. That's because the entire dist folder is simply not there. I can look at previous versions and see the dist folder. Also, there's supposed to be a folder with a long string for a name that contains the manifest.json folder. That's not there either. I cloned the Github repository to a folder using the cloud shell. Then I run npm install which gives me the node_modules directory. Then I run npm build ./ (from within the folder that has the package.json). Nada. I've been fighting this for a day now and have gotten to the point where I'm just repeating myself. Presumably this all worked before so if I can just figure out how to get those two folders I think I'll be golden.
Help!
