Unable to use library in Cloud Functions

[justindh]

When using services like GoogleCloud, Firebase, Aws and etc the code is run in a diskless or a readonly disk mode which means that this library returns errors such as this

Detailed stack trace: Error: EROFS: read-only file system, mkdir './esiil_db/' at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:885:18) at new SQLEngine (/srv/node_modules/esiil/libs/Database.js:13:10) at new ESIIL (/srv/node_modules/esiil/index.js:31:15) at init (/srv/node_modules/esiil/index.js:116:10) at Object.<anonymous> (/srv/index.js:8:17) at Module._compile (module.js:653:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:664:10) at Module.load (module.js:566:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:506:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:498:3)

@justindh Thanks for reporting this. ESIIL relies on a SQLite database to manage and store user sessions, which is failing due to the diskless nature. There are a couple of solutions that would address this, one would be allowing connection to a separate mysql/postgres database, or another would be storing everything in session memory. I will have to consider these and determine how I want to proceed.

@justindh I have a beta build npm install esiil@beta to give a try. I am not very familiar with using Firebase and similar so I relying on you to be my guinea pig in this. If you want to talk more directly, I have a Slack here, otherwise this issue is a perfect place.
