Fixing Heroku exited with status 1, error code H10

Question

I have attempted various resolutions; using GitHub as the deployment method, installing the NPM package serve, force cleaning cache, re-installing node_modules & package-lock.json and even switching the project from NPM to Yarn. I still get the following error.

Error log:

2022-01-17T16:20:29.660758+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Process exited with status 1 2022-01-17T16:20:29.752386+00:00 heroku[web.1]: State changed from starting to crashed 2022-01-17T16:20:30.611091+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=GET path="/" host=ip-tracker-app.herokuapp.com request_id=a46f3082-43fd-45e9-a049-d1076cad194f fwd="2.125.111.225" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes= protocol=https 2022-01-17T16:20:31.020509+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=GET path="/favicon.ico" host=ip-tracker-app.herokuapp.com request_id=c01ac432-ae1c-4994-9fa0-b211a8f00391 fwd="2.125.111.225" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes= protocol=https

My Package.json file:

    "regenerator-runtime": "^0.13.9"
  }
}

My server.js file:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
const result = dotenv.config();

if (result.error) {
    throw result.error;
}

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.use(express.static('public'));

app.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log(`App is listening on ${PORT}.`);
});

I have added the following Procfile:

web: npm start

I saw an issue on your serveur if you want to serve html file like dist try this instead

app.use('/', serveStatic(path.join(__dirname, '/public')))

If the purpose is to deliver image

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname,'public')))
