I am new to front-end and was trying to fork and follow the steps to deploy the work on Heroku, but it failed. My changes are available here.

The steps I performed as following

  • Forked the repo
  • Created a new branch to deploy changes.
  • Made changes(ref) as described in deploy page for Heroku
  • ran heroku local web
  • Hit http://localhost:5000 as per Heroku's documentation
    enter image description hereI see error on web page saying Cannot GET / (snapshot attached)

My repository is available on GitHub at https://github.com/hhimanshu/web-starter-kit/

What am I doing wrong? Kindly help

  • You pushed your "dist" folder, right? (to Heroku, I mean) Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 5:13
  • @hisener, everything is local at the moment Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 8:17
  • I posted an answer, please take a look. Take care. Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 16:22

Finally, I tested on my local computer. It works fine. I do not see any difference but I'll write the steps I followed. Maybe you will see the difference.

  • forked the repo
  • git clone the repo
  • created a new branch
  • mkdir dist
  • created and copy-pasted dist/package.json and dist/server.js from there.
  • changed the directory dist to dist/public in gulpfile.babel.js
  • runned gulp in root folder
  • npm install in root folder
  • npm install in dist folder
  • first tested with npm start. it's ok on localhost:3000
  • heroku local web in dist folder

And result (github repo):

[WARN] No ENV file found
[WARN] ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'Procfile'
[OKAY] package.json file found - trying 'npm start'
6:03:42 PM web.1 |  > @ start /home/hisener/Projects/web-starter-kit-heroku/dist
6:03:43 PM web.1 |  > node server.js
6:03:43 PM web.1 |  Server running...

web-starter-kit-heroku-local

I hope it would be helpful.

Hey, thanks. I checked out your heroku branch and ran npm install in project root and dist folder. When I run npm start, it gives me same Cannot GET /, did I miss anything? or did you miss to checkin some file?
@daydreamer You should also run gulp before npm start.
