Mean-admin deploy to heroku "postinstall", Mean 0.0.4 #13

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:

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

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

Any ideas?

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

adle29 · 2014-08-20T20:18:57Z

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 · 2014-09-14T18:01:57Z

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

I updated meanio ---> sudo npm update meanio
checked the current version --> mean -v = 0.6.7
added mean.json with the object you specified above
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 · 2014-09-15T05:38:17Z

hi @iamlogiq

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

Thanks

iamlogiq · 2014-09-16T00:12:08Z

@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 · 2014-09-25T00:02:49Z

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

TylerL-uxai · 2014-09-25T00:15:23Z

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 · 2014-09-25T01:02:17Z

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

iamlogiq · 2014-10-08T21:20:27Z

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

TylerL-uxai · 2014-10-09T00:10:41Z

@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 · 2014-10-09T00:21:08Z

@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 · 2014-10-09T05:10:26Z

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.

@liorkesos If you read my previous post, I'm not talking about problems with deploying to heroku, i'm talking about problems locally and how to fix it. Can you tell me how to have mean-admin work locally?

liorkesos · 2014-10-09T17:35:45Z

It works for me locally.
What error do you see - what version of the mean-cli? (mean -v) what versoion of the mean repo (check in package.json)
