Hello,
I am trying to deploy a mern app in heroku. But I cannot deploy it. It works fine but at the very last it says,
remote: ! Push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app.
! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to [git url]
please help me .
post your package.json, also are you doing a post-build on heroku? or is your client pre-built before your deployment. I also delete all .lock files before deploying and I found that heroku doesn’t play well with yarn as well as it does with npm.
This is my package.json file.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make easier to read.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.
Note: Backticks are not single quotes.
ok bro. But i cannot solve my problem yet.
inside your root folder type git remote -v
and post the result here, also post your entire log from when you started the deploy including the command you used to deploy, the error you are getting seems git related , but your post-build command looks also strange
note also --prefix is good for changing directories in linux, if you are on windows need to use cd
I’m not sure, but… You don’t seem to have devDependencies for nodemon? Try to add it in the package.json and see if it works.
heroku follows npm start script which is using node per the package.json, he’s using nodemon only for dev mode running the server script
I was also wondering the same thing… as it’s only for development.

[husseyexplores].tried that link yesterday.
[Dereje1], it is full result after master push in heroku.
Do you have a valid Procfile? https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile
And did you try all these steps mentioned here? https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/troubleshooting-node-deploys
^ looks like this is your problem, it is looking for the client package.json to build in the wrong place, or at least it can’t resolve the path some how, post your git clone link and i can attempt doing a deploy later
i do not have github yet. but i can send u my file in email if u want.
but you have git on your machine right?
no i do not have procfile here. i had deployed a pure node app in heroku which doesn’t have procfile. so i think it may work without procfile
yes. I have in windows machine.
Well, add the Procfile then. This is a requirement only for Heroku.
It is also included in their sample node app: https://github.com/heroku/node-js-sample
If that doesn’t solve the issue, the last thing I could think of is disabling the cache.
I can’t say anything more without trying to deploy it myself. Goodluck!
(Edit: It’s been a while since I’ve deployed on Heroku. Last time I deployed it a year back, Profile was required. I’m not sue if it is still a requirement. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m wrong here I believe, Procfile isn’t required.)
yeah , you don’t really need procfile to run a node app on heroku, well it is hard to troubleshoot without testing your files, I’d open a github account and push your files there, you’ll need a github account sooner or later anyways
