Why are is npm / yarn install not run before running ember serve?

[buckmaxwell]

Having the added step of having to install node modules before the server is usable is a bit annoying. Is there an easy way to combine these steps? I am using a docker compose to run my dev environment.

Hi @buckmaxwell

I have the same question. I'd expect that to be in the Dockerfile.

I'm running into 2 issues:

• Could not require 'ember-cli-build.js': Cannot find module 'ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app' #33
• Docker for ember cli 2.6.2 and node 10.16.2, what's the expected docker-compose.yaml and Dockerfile? #32

however I am trying to do this with an older version of Ember (2.6.2) and node (10.16.2).

I'm not sure but looking at https://github.com/danlynn/ember-cli/tree/2.6.2#how-to-use suggests that some commands like npm install etc might be done in docker-compose but as my question on #32 I'm not sure what the exact docker-compose should be like.
