While playing with https://github.com/alexa/interactive-adventure-game-tool, I ran into the following error:

> interactive-adventure-game-tool@1.0.0 start /Users/amer/alexa/interactive-adventure-game-tool
> node node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js

/Users/amer/alexa/interactive-adventure-game-tool/node_modules/require-dir/index.js:97
            if (!require.extensions.hasOwnProperty(ext)) {
                                    ^

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

The solution was to update require-dir to version 0.3.2 in package.json and run npm install again.

Troubleshooting Kubernetes Ingress

Setting up Ingress is an easy process but when it doesn’t work it gets really painful. First, make sure you have Ingress Controller setup correctly. This is in addition to Ingress resource and should be automatically setup by your cloud provider. When I was trying to setup a Kubernetes cluster on IBM Cloud, I ran into a lot of issues. It seems due to my permissions level something went wrong during provisioning of Kubernetes and Ingress Controller was not setup correctly. I went through a lot of steps including recreating alb , ingress resources, etc. The final fix was to login to IBM Cloud as superuser to change Access Policies for the cluster. Once I did that, everything just worked magically.

WordPress to Hugo to WordPress to Hugo

I moved all my blogs back to Hugo. I have gone back and forth between Wordpress and Hugo several times. WordPress makes it really easy to write and publish content. On this domain, I was using WordPress as a bookmarking service. With PressThis plugin, I was able to use a bookmarklet and publish a new post from any page on the web. But that plugin has not been updated in a while and it seems with every new WordPress release something would break. A few times, I was able to hack it to keep going. But lately, I cannot keep up with it. I will have to figure out a better way to bookmark but for now, I didn’t want to deal with WordPress. And easy bookmarking was the only reason why I was using WordPress.
