I am working on this project locally https://github.com/misterGF/CoPilot but now that it is finished, I would like to push it to heroku. the problem is telling heroku to start the app.
In the heroku example, the demo server runs after picking up the info from Procfile with contains this data
web: node index.js
But in my vuejs project, there is no index.js that servers the content.
I only have the main entry point which is index.html and the procfile doesn't work with HTML.
You also need to define a small static server to serve your index.html file.
A simple example setup would be with http-server:
npm install -S http-server
And your Procfile becomes:
web: http-server ./ -p $PORT
http-server correctly? Does it show up under dependencies in your package.json file? Also, can you run the command http-server ./ -p 8080 locally on your own machine?error module semver not found... i can't tell what the issue isYou need to update your package.json file to let heroku know about the packages, for example if you are using express to serve your files:
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "npm install express"
}
// "start": "node server.js" (executing server.js) during start
server.js
var express = require('express')
var path = require('path')
var serveStatic = require('serve-static')
var app = express()
app.use(serveStatic(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')))
var port = process.env.PORT || 8000
app.listen(port)
console.log('server started ' + port)
Don't forget to build.
Look here to read more about build conf: Customizing build process - Heroku
You can also install the http-server globally like this if that is a option:
npm install -g http-server
and update the Procfile to add the configuration as mentioned in above answers.
Just to know:
Using http-server. but the package is not installed globally, so you will have to use the full path to it like so:
web: ./node_modules/http-server/bin/http-server ./ -p $PORT
