Can not deploy spring boot application to the heroku

Question

I try to deploy my spring boot application on the Heroku . I connect my github to the Heroku and create clearDB for the application. After when deploy success I go to the application. But in the logs of the heroku shows me 2020-02-24T20:00:33.959429+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=POST path="/auth/signin" host=linkedin-search.herokuapp.com request_id=52208cc6-575e-444b-bb45-c3910d49b175 fwd="134.249.164.109" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes= protocol=https

My Procfile contains that: web: java -jar target/Linkedin_Search-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar My pom.xml build section is:

 <build>
     <sourceDirectory>src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
        <testSourceDirectory>src/test/java</testSourceDirectory>
        <resources>

                    <version>3.0.1</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>copy-dependencies</id>
                            <phase>package</phase>
                            <goals><goal>copy-dependencies</goal></goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

I do all as in the tutorial on the Heroku dev center but nothing is works.

Answer 1

According to your logs this is the root cause for your issue:

2020-02-27T13:58:45.159924+00:00 app[web.1]: no main manifest attribute, in target/Linkedin_Search-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

The JAR file you create does not have the Main class specified in its manifest. How to fix this really depends on your build setup. I see you're using spring-boot-maven-plugin which usually detects and sets that attribute for you. You can try to configure it explicitly in that plugins configuration section:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.2.RELEASE</version>
    <configuration>
        <mainClass>com.example.Main</mainClass> 
    </configuration>
</plugin>

You could also specify the main class explicitly in your Procfile :

web: java -cp target/Linkedin_Search-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar com.example.Main

Answer 2

i recomend you to push your apllication on GitHub and then use the automatic deploy from heroku. it is more easy. always work fine for me.
