I really wish this worked for me. I thought I finally found it in this
But, I'm getting this message

  I, [2020-02-14T04:25:23.891161 #31827]  INFO -- : Writing /var/app/ondeck/public/assets/favicon/browserconfig-1e95769f0ebd29baab6887813f1b30b78bcdc201ba988f9138ff04867c410979.xml.gz

  Install webpack to start bundling:

   (ElasticBeanstalk::ExternalInvocationError)

That's weird since the command at line 55 installs it. We ended up adding a bunch of stuff explicitly as part of our package.json file since the webpacker gem didn't seem to provide it. Relevant ones below.

  "dependencies": {
    "@rails/activestorage": "^6.0.0-alpha",
    "@rails/ujs": "^6.0.0-alpha",
    "@rails/webpacker": "4.2.2",
    "babel-loader": "^8.0.6",
    "css-loader": "^3.4.2",

    "style-loader": "^1.1.3",
    "webpack": "^4.41.5",

  },

Thanks so much, I got it working with this configuration

What is that folder? I have tried to search for the same bud didn't found anything.

/var/app/ondeck/

That is where pre-AL2 beanstalk environments stage the app before deploying to var/app/current. On AL2 I believe it is var/app/staging instead.
