Question

I have simple project. link: https://github.com/Tyvain/BTCash

locally I launch it like that:

npm install
cd BTCash/server/
node app.js
cd BTCash/
npm start

I try "github deployement" in heroku but got:

-----> Node.js app detected
-----> Creating runtime environment

   NPM_CONFIG_LOGLEVEL=error
   NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=true
   NODE_ENV=production
   NODE_MODULES_CACHE=true
-----> Installing binaries

   engines.npm (package.json):   unspecified (use default)

   Resolving node version (latest stable) via semver.io...

   Love,
   Heroku

 !     Push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app.
 !     Push failed

How should I deploy and launch it on heroku? Should I use travis CI for that?

NPM is trying to run the npm run typings install postinstall script, but the typings package is in your devDependencies section in your package.json.

Because the NODE_ENV on Heroku is set to "production", those packages won't be installed, so that npm postinstall script won't be able to complete on Heroku.

Try moving typings to the dependencies section in package.json.

Also, read the Heroku NodeJS development documentation for more useful stuff. For instance, you should really be specifying a NodeJS and NPM version in your package.json.
