I have tried https://help.heroku.com/18PI5RSY/how-do-i-clear-the-build-cache, also I have elixir-buildpack.config
elixir_version=1.8.2
erlang_version=21.2.5
assets_path=assets
phoenix_ex=phx
and phoenix_static_buildpack.config
clean_cache=true
compile="compile"
config_vars_to_export=(DATABASE_URL)
node_version=6.9.5
npm=3.10.8
phoenix_relative_path=.
remove_node=false
package.json is the default one

And this one as well

outlog
you can easily use yarn, or parcel - or whatever is the latest and greatest..
I use yarn on heroku - I just have a

@outlog, thanks for suggestion, for now it’s working fine
