Question

I do npm install -d, and then push all my stuff with git heroku push master.
In my heroku logs, it would display:

2012-05-01T00:21:37+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `node app.js`

2012-05-01T00:21:40+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed

Obviously, I have none of this problem when I deploy locally.
I have the mkdirp module within my jade module, which is inside the node_modules of my application.

I also have the Procfile:

web: node app.js

Here is my package.json:

{
    "name": "gemini"
  , "version": "0.0.1"
  , "contributors": [ 
      { "name": "****", "email": "****" }
    ]
  , "private": true
  , "engines": { "node": ">= 0.2.0" }
  , "dependencies": {
      "express": "2.5.1"
    , "stylus": ">= 0.17.0"
    , "jade": "0.3.0"
  }
}

Can anyone please advise? Thanks!

Answer 1

I fixed it by doing npm install mkdirp and then pushing.

I get a warning though for missing mkdirp and defaulting to the one that I just installed.
Probably because I know that I also definitely have mkdirp inside the node_modules of both jade and stylus?

In any case, the app is deployed now.
