Describe the issue/error/question
In the function nodes, I often use the npm module ‘faker’ (v5.5.3, the functional one) by including it in my Dockerfile, like so:
RUN npm install -g [email protected]
Now, in my n8n prod instance (v0.170.0), i’m receiving the below mentioned error.
But, in my n8n dev instance (v0.168.1), it’s working fine.
Apparently, something changed between these two versions which has caused this issue.
What is the error message (if any)?
VMError: Cannot find module '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/faker'
