Heroku deployment fails on fsevents

[rich-ware]

I am having a tough time getting my first meanio app running on Heroku. I have only created the app & tried to deploy to Heroku.
I followed deployment steps at https://github.com/linnovate/mean/wiki/Deploying-on-Heroku .

Here is the error log:

8133 info fsevents@0.2.0 Failed to exec install script
8134 error fsevents@0.2.0 install: node-gyp rebuild
8134 error Exit status 1
8135 error Failed at the fsevents@0.2.0 install script.
8135 error This is most likely a problem with the fsevents package,
8135 error not with npm itself.
8135 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
8135 error node-gyp rebuild
8135 error You can get their info via:
8135 error npm owner ls fsevents
8135 error There is likely additional logging output above.

! Push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app

Please advise on how to resolve. Also, let me know if you need more information.

Thanks!

Same issue here.

@rich-ware @wmbutler are you running an up-to-date version of mean? I know a lot of modules were moved from devDependencies into dependencies and that helped a number of others with heroku deployment.

Also, please see here.

I solved this by removing karma:

sudo npm uninstall karma

I'm having the same issue.

Trying to deploy wintersmith onto Heroku. One of wintersmith's dependency is fsevent, which is giving me the same output logs as OP.

I believe fsevent is the offender here. Any ideas?

[andreaskern]

Wintersmith depends on chokidar which optionally depends on fsevents. fsevents only gets installed on MacOS as a workaround for node.js's file module. it actually fails to install on ubuntu and is ignored.

'npm rebuild' still tries to build fsevents if present and fails although it's optional.

i hope that helps
