I'm trying my node.js app to Azure via Dropbox. It has worked fine in the past, but after a few updates, I'm getting a "Deploy Failed" with the log errors below.
There seems to be a problem building the Node time module. I don't remember installing it, but I'm assuming it came in when I installed the 'moment' module.
Any ideas what's keeping this from building properly?
Many thanks!
Selected node.js version 0.8.19. Use package.json file to choose a different version.

I just figured it out, so I'm leaving the answer here for the next person to come along with this problem. The package.json file did not include this dependency:
"dependencies": {
"connect": "~2.7.4",
"express": "~3.1.1",
"node-uuid": "~1.4.0",
"nodemon": "~0.7.6",
"request": "~2.16.6",
"shortid": "~1.0.9",
"moment": "~2.0.0",
"underscore": "~1.4.4",
"cron": "~1.0.1",
"time": "~0.9.2"
},
I think it would have hit some other errors if it could have made it past the time error, as there were some other dependencies missing.
