Heroku deployment Error with node.js

Question

The application is programmed in node.js and using socket.io for real-time requests.

the application was working fine, but today I'm getting this infinitely error:

can anyone help please!

Answer 1

the problem was the "request" package from npm, it's not compatible with the last version of node.js.

So I add the version explicitly in package.js

"engines": {
  "node": "0.10.x"
},

now everything works fine. Thanks
