使用Heroku进行节点部署时出现“应用程序错误”

Question

I managed to finally make a running client-server easy app in local (after weeks of trying) and... I tried to give Heroku a try, so my last server was so confusing and frustrating. It seemed it was working but... after an "okay" deploy, the web shows "An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details.".

I found things like allowing to run in process.env.PORT and not only 8080 port, fixed it, but still the same mistake, though still working in local. Any advice?

The log of the deploy...

       You can silence this warning by updating to at least npm 5.7.1 in your package.json

In your JSON file, have you remebered to included your "start" value which is the command that you want the server to do on startup. For node the start of your JSON should look like this:

{
  "name": "deploying",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "app.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node app.js"

Hope this helps :)
