AppDynamics Native Agent Not Loading with Nexe-bundled NodeJS Application Environment - Node.js version: 20.9.0 - AppDynamics Node.js Agent version: Latest - Nexe version: Latest - OS: Windows Server - Build tool: Nexe with custom build script Project Structure We have a Node.js API service that uses: - Express.js for REST API - Native modules (specifically AppDynamics agent) - Various npm packages for business logic - Built and distributed as a single executable using Nexe Issue When running our Nexe-bundled application, the AppDynamics agent fails to initialize with the following error: Appdynamics agent cannot be initialized due to Error: Missing required module. \\?\C:\Path\nodejs_api\node_modules\appdynamics-libagent-napi\appd_libagent.node TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'init') at LibagentConnector.init What We've Tried 1. Including the native module as a resource in Nexe build: --resource "./node_modules/appdynamics-libagent-napi/appd_libagent.node" 2. Copying the native module to the correct directory structure in distribution: dist/ - api_node.exe - node_modules/ -- appdynamics-libagent-napi/ --- appd_libagent.node According to Nexe's documentation, when dealing with native modules (.node files), the module should be placed in the `node_modules` directory relative to the compiled executable's location. This means that while the application is bundled into a single executable, native modules are expected to be loaded from the filesystem at runtime. Question How can we properly bundle and load the AppDynamics native agent with a Nexe-compiled Node.js application? Is there a specific configuration or approach needed for native modules, particularly AppDynamics, to work with Nexe? Any guidance or working examples would be greatly appreciated.
