Deploy Geddy to Heroku

Question

I'm trying to deploy a simple Geddyjs (node.js) app to Heroku.

When I make a push a recive that error:

git push heroku master

Heroku receiving push
Heroku push rejected, no Cedar-supported app detected

What I have to do to that heroku detect the nodejs app?

Answer 1

couple of things did you do this for cedar you need to explicitly say this (I am sure you have done this but here for completeness)

heroku create --stack cedar

ensure that your package.json is at the root

heroku have a good article on this

You should now be able to

git push heroku master

Answer 2

Have you added Procfile and package.json to your local git repo. and committed them?

I had created them but forgot to add & commit them so when pushed these files weren't uploaded hence Heroku didn't know the type of app.

Adding, committing & re-pushing fixed this.

Obvious when you know:-)
