[node & express] Build is failing on CI while installing deps, working fine on local

Backend Development
1

I am following the Back End Development and APIs track. I have forked freeCodeCamp/boilerplate-express and setup a CI with Heroku.

I am getting some npm issue which I was able to dodge before this lesson. But this lesson forces to install a new package called dotenv. I’m at https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/back-end-development-and-apis/basic-node-and-express/use-the--env-file.

The error I am getting on Heroku console is:

This might not be the best option, but deleting the package-lock.json fixed the problem.
