As I was following through the tutorial how to Deploy and Build Laravel apps(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnNA7YdvCYA) I ran into a deployment problem on Error code: BuildJobExitNonZero. The logs says :

Thanks for using the App Platform! The important error in the output you posted is:
npm ERR! cipm can only install packages with an existing package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json with lockfileVersion >= 1. Run an install with npm@5 or later to generate it, then try again.
This is saying that you should run npm install (or yarn install) and commit the package-lock.json or yarn.lock file, that’s generated by those commands, with your code. That should resolve the issue and allow the build to continue.
