node - deploying app to heroku with git

Question

I am trying to deploy my app to heroku and I keep getting this error message saying that it "failed to detect app matching ......." and the push was rejected. I followed the way it said on the heroku website and I keep getting stuck on only that git push heroku master part I have tried doing some research I couldn't find a solution.

Server.js

var app = require('express')();
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
var express = require("express");

var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board({port:"COM4"});
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.use(express.static("public"))

io.on('connection', function (socket) {
    console.log("New User Connected")
    board.on("ready", function(){
        socket.on("turnLightOn", function(data){
            var led = new five.Led({
                pin:"13"
            });
            if(data.status){
                led.on();
            }else{
                led.off();
            }
        })
    })
});

server.listen(port, function(){
    console.log("Listening on port 3000")
});

index.js

var socket = io();

$("#toggle-light").on("click", function(){
    $("#led").toggle();
    if($("#led").css("display") == "none"){
        var status = false
    }else{
        var status = true
    }
    socket.emit("turnLightOn", {
        status

This means that a package.json file isn't checked into the root of your git project, so Heroku is detecting that it isn't a Node.js app. You can see this locally:

git show master:package.json

To fix it, you'll want to be sure there is a package.json in the root of your project (where there is also a .git directory), and add it to git:

git add package.json
git commit -m 'track package.json'

The phrasing ('failed to detect set buildpack') could be improved. It should probably say 'failed to detect Node.js app'. When the buildpack's "detect" script is run ( https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs/blob/master/bin/detect ), it looks for a package.json file to verify that there's a node app available to build.
