NPM is ignoring packages directory for functions.

Hi!

I am following the functions tutorial at: https://docs.digitalocean.com/tutorials/jamstack-series-part-2-add-serverless-functions-to-app/ together with the sample project: https://github.com/digitalocean/sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode .

I have run into the same problem with the tutorial as with the sample project, but I will explain the issue in terms of sample project so that it can be replicated.

When it comes to executing: doctl serverless deploy ., I get this error:

Deploying '/home/user/Files/serverless2/sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode'
  to namespace 'fn-xxx'
  on host 'https://faas-lon1-xxx.doserverless.co'
Started running npm install --production in /home/user/Files/serverless2/sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode/qr/qr
Output of failed build in /home/user/Files/serverless2/sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode/packages/qr/qr
/bin/bash: npm: command not found


Failures:
Error: While deploying action 'qr/qr': 'npm install' exited with code 127

I have the latest version of Node (v18.7.0) and NPM (8.15.0) installed.

I don’t quite understand why it outputs /bin/bash: npm: command not found because I get a proper version when I execute node -v and npm -v.

I have noticed that the command executed by doctl skips the packages directory and instead goes directly to sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode/qr/qr (instead of sample-functions-nodejs-qrcode/packages/qr/qr).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!
