Mean-admin deploy to heroku "postinstall", Mean 0.0.4

[adle29]

When I try to deploy my app to heroku I get the following error:

This issue has already been addressed here issue:#501 but not solved completely .

Possible solutions I have tried but have failed:

1. I already added "mean-admin": "linnovate/mean-admin".
2. change "mean postinstall" to "bower install"
3. "heroku config:set NODE_ENV=production" and "git push heroku master"
4. Change "postinstall": "./node_modules/bower/bin/bower install"
5. Remove the postinstall script,fails; also mean-upload fails.
6. heroku repo:purge_cache
7. Adding .npmignore file.
8. Added

       {
            "storage": {
               "packages": ".bower/cache",
               "registry": ".bower/registry"
             },
              "tmp": ".bower/tmp"
       }

stackoverflow-Deploy to heroku

Any ideas?

try with
heroku plugins:install https://github.com/heroku/heroku-repo.git
and
heroku repo:purge_cache

[adle29]

Apparently the only way I was able to push to heroku was to remove the mean-admin. It still will not work. Tried the "heroku repo:purge:cache". Did not work.

just more logs:

hey all

There is a new post install script that should help out in this area. We are still improving it should be stable enough for some intial deployments.

Add a mean.json file in the root of your app which contains this object {"dependencies":{"mean-admin":"latest"}}

the post install script will install it in packages/contrib for versions of meanio above 0.5.18. The new script is in 0.5.30

There will be a better version in the coming days but for those of you anxious to get mean-admin on heroku feel free to use this verison

[iamlogiq]

@ellman I tried it but it doesn't work. Below is what I did...please tell me if i'm missing something

1. I updated meanio ---> sudo npm update meanio
2. checked the current version --> mean -v = 0.6.7
3. added mean.json with the object you specified above
4. deployed to heroku but no mean-admin

Further more...i can't even install mean-admin locally anymore. When I do --> mean install mean-admin locally I get an error. So now not only I can't get it to work on heroku I can't even get it to work locally.

PLEASE help!

[ellman]

hi @iamlogiq

Please open your package.json from the project and let me know when version of meanio the project is using.

Thanks

[iamlogiq]

@ellman ok i updated it in package.json ---> "meanio": "^0.5.30"
and it works on heroku but its not working locally. I did npm install and i dont see mean-admin installed. I did mean install mean-admin and it says package not found.
how do i get it to work locally now???

how do i get it to work locally now??

[TylerL-uxai]

Been having the same problem and trouble shooting this all day.

[TylerL-uxai]

Hey, it's working I guess. meanio needs to be version 0.5.34 and "mean-admin": "linnovate/mean-admin" fixes it. Thank god. ::falls into bed from exhaustion::

[TylerL-uxai]

Nope.. it's broken. I think it's on a weird port now?

[iamlogiq]

@ellman It's been almost a month now....any answers? Mean-admin is not working locally :(

[TylerL-uxai]

@iamlogiq I wish I could be more helpful, but I don't remember how I did it. Using this thread I did get it working, though.

[iamlogiq]

@Squ34k3rZ Hey I got it working on heroku just fine using the mean.json file but its locally i'm having trouble. mean install mean-admin doesn't work, putting "mean-admin": "linnovate/mean-admin" in package.json doesn't work, cloning the mean-admin repo and putting it manually in packages/contrib/mean-admin doesn't work so at this point i'm not sure what to do.

It should NOT be this difficult to get this working...It's been a month and I can't find any help on the matter. It's making me regret i choose mean.io for my project. I'm disappointed!

[liorkesos]

The mean.json was pushed two days ago. We developed it because we did not
have support for the situations Tyler, Abraham and Jen had when deploying
to heroku/openshift. The problems where real. I hope it's much easier now.
