Error when deploying Django-React app to Heroku

Question

I'm deploying my Django-backend, React-frontend app to Heroku and when running git push heroku master I'm running into a weird error:

Could not find a required file.
Name: index.html
Searched in: /tmp/build_7abd977a/public

Apparently when running npm run build it creates a build folder with the following structure:

Looks like for some reason the public folder isn't created upon running the scripts, can someone advice how can I perhaps create it with the script or run my index.html from a different location (Or at least tell me the location of the file its being imported in)?

Here is the full traceback:

First try running python manage.py collectstatic locally to verify that you are able to collect all the static files. Heroku does that. — SaGaR

@SLDem Could you add any more of the error. Is there anything that comes before it? What stage of the build is it in whilst this error is displayed? — tim-mccurrach

@tim-mccurrach I've added the traceback after installing node_modules — SLDem

I fixed it by moving my portfolio-frontend contents into the root of the project and then running npm run build again.
