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

I have manage to solve
WARNING: no package.json detected in root nor custom directoryby addingassets_path="."instead ofphoenix_relative_pathbut no joy I’m still having problems with not been able to deploy the app properly, I don’t understand why he can’t see deps foldertenzil
Can you try the following
in phoenix_static_buildpack.config, set node version above 8 (i got errors on node modules for lesser versions)
or set node_version=10.15.0
Copser
ok so changing node version helped but now this
tenzil
hmm ok, now thats a path issue.
Thought of two things,
2.If that didn’t work, can you try reverting back to old version (node 6.9.2) and try the same.
Copser
so in my
phoenix_static_buildpackI have definedand in
elixir_buildpack.configI have definedreverting back to old version did not solve the problem, I would really love if elixir didn’t use npm but yarn.
tenzil
anyluck with the node 10.15, with the same settings? or the same error persist?
Copser
it’s the same.
why should I ever change the
depspath, I don’t get it, I have spent four hours on this.tenzil
Hey found a similar thread in elixirforum, please check and try this
And this one as well

OMG, I didn’t set the elixir build pack so I was not building it properly, thanks @tenzil I need to go and chill a bit
After I did
heroku create --buildpack hashnuke/elixirI forgot toheroku buildpacks:set hashnuke/elixir, and that was it, people read the documentationoutlog
you can easily use yarn, or parcel - or whatever is the latest and greatest..
I use yarn on heroku - I just have a
yarn deployin mycompilefile - which of course calls the deploy script in package.json..
