Heroku application error node.js app, when deploying

Question

    if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
    apiOptions.server = "https://pacific-bastion-15276.herokuapp.com";

and my verison of npm and node are the same as specified on the packge.json.

I can't figure out the problem.

I tried heroku restart, heroku ps:scale web=0 and heroku ps:scale web=1,set the JWT_SECRET on heroku. nothing is working

any ideas?? am I missing something?

Answer 1

I encountered strange crashes while using heroku & node.js and one of them had to do with me accidentally uploading node_modules directory from my local machine. In my case it caused conflicts while heroku was trying to install dependencies.

See if that is the case. If that does not help than please provide more context to your question.
