I've setup Browserify in development and it works great. But when I try pushing the application to Heroku, the push fails.
remote: -----> Preparing app for Rails asset pipeline
remote: Running: rake assets:precompile
remote: rake aborted!
Error:
remote: BrowserifyRails::BrowserifyError: Unable to run
node_modules/.bin/browserify. Ensure you have installed it with npm.
I can confirm browserify is in package.json.
"browserify": "~10.2.4",
"browserify-incremental": "^3.0.1",
And that the files do exist in that location.
Note that the application was recently moved from running on Webrick to Puma but I see no indication here of that as an issue.
I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting this. Could anyone share advice on what I should try next, or what could be causing this?
Here is the way to handle this issue:
Configure Heroku to use multi-buildpack
heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git
Create .buildpacks file
Create .buildpacks file for the multi-buildpack to make sure node.js is compiled before ruby.
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby
Install browserify with --save
rake assets:precompile in heroku deploy expects browserify to be installed in .node_modules directory. So move it from devDependencies to dependencies.
npm uninstall browserify --save-dev
npm install browserify --save
Now try to deploy again!
git push heroku master
It should work now.
Use heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 heroku/nodejs.
heroku-buildpack-multi and use of .buildpacks file has been deprecated.
I had this today. Here's what worked for me
Changed browserify to a regular dependency as the accepted answer did.
Reordered buildpacks to put heroku/nodejs first.
Changed package.json from this
"devDependencies": {
"browserify": "^12.0.1",
...
}
To this
"dependencies": {
"browserify": "^12.0.1",
...
}
Reorder buildpacks
The initial output of heroku buildpacks was
1. heroku/ruby
2. heroku/nodejs
So I did
$ heroku buildpacks:remove heroku/ruby
$ heroku buildpacks:add heroku/ruby
Which changed it to
1. heroku/nodejs
2. heroku/ruby

I’m updating the environment on Heroku and one of the buildpack we use is based on Ruby, which is no longer available by default in the new heroku-22 environment/stack (nor required by our PHP app).
From the docs:
[...] end users should add the Ruby buildpack prior to the buildpack in question (they will also need to ensure minimal Gemfile / Gemfile.lock files exist, so that the Ruby buildpack passes detection).
However I have no clue what those files should include as I have zero experience with Ruby. What would be a valid set of minimal Gemfiles to trigger Ruby installation on Heroku?
I suggest you don't use that buildpack at all. It's ancient, and third-party buildpacks are always a bit questionable, even if it's just because they often stop getting updated.
Here's what it claims to do:
This is a Heroku buildpack for vendoring just the mysql binary from the mysql-client-core deb package.
If you just need a mysql binary, you can use the apt buildpack to install it without worrying about Ruby or anything like that.
Add it as your first buildpack:
heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 heroku-community/apt
Create an Aptfile in the root directory of your project that lists the Ubuntu packages you wish to install, e.g.
mysql-client-core-8.0
Note that the buildpack does not do dependency resolution. If any packages you list have their own dependencies you may have to list them explicitly.
Commit, and redeploy.
You should see the Ubuntu packages you listed get installed before your main buildpack runs.
In any case, if you really want to make your application compatible with the Ruby buildpack you should be able to simply include an empty Gemfile in the root of your project:
The Heroku Ruby Support will be applied to applications only when the application has a Gemfile in the root directory. Even if an application has no gem dependencies it should include an empty Gemfile to document that your app has no gem dependencies.
A Gemfile.lock is not required.
Note that you'll need to manually add the buildpacks you require. I believe you'll want Ruby first, then the MySQL buildpack in your question, then whatever language your application is written in, which appears to be PHP:
heroku buildpacks:set heroku/php # Main buildpack; we insert others before it below
heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 heroku/ruby
heroku buildpacks:add --index 2 https://github.com/thoughtbot/heroku-buildpack-mysql.git
heroku buildpacks
# => Should print the buildpacks in the expected order
Edited
It turns out an empty Gemfile is not enough and a Gemfile.lock is actually required as well.

An empty Gemfile will trigger the Ruby installation, however the heroku/ruby package itself does require a lock file.
The buildpack will detect your app as Ruby if it has a Gemfile and Gemfile.lock files in the root directory.
After some trial and error I figure out the following files work:
# Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org'
# Gemfile.lock

When I push my code on heroku, with git, bundler and precompile run each time, even if I didn't change anything on my assets. Is there a way to avoid it?
Here's a good article about this problem : http://blog.alexmaccaw.com/faster-deploys
tl, dr :
In Gemfile:
gem 'dalli'
gem 'memcachier'
On the command line:
heroku addons:add memcachier:dev
heroku labs:enable user-env-compile
In config/environments/production.rb:
config.assets.cache_store = :dalli_store
I have a Node.js app that uses Compass, a Ruby gem.
When I push to Heroku it will detect a Node.js app and run npm install. Now, it detects the Gemfile first which it a ruby project and no longer runs npm install. Is it possible to tell Heroku this is a Node.js app which requires the Gemfile for running bundle exec install compass?
You need to use a custom buildpack that supports both Ruby and Node. Take a look at third-party buildpacks and multi buildpacks.
I can find my apps in heroku apps command, and also do some command to read information from app like heroku addons --app appname.
But I couldn't find my apps in some command like heroku addons:add addon_name, heroku pg:reset.
Work commands
heroku apps:
=== My Apps
my_app_1
my_app_2
(Also I can see my apps in heroku web dashboard.)
heroku addons --app my_app_1(not in my_app_1 folder):
=== my_app_1 Configured Add-ons
shared-database:5mb
heroku addons(in my_app_1 folder):
=== my_app_1 Configured Add-ons
shared-database:5mb
Doesn't work commands
heroku addons:add sendgrid(in my_app_1 folder):
! No app specified.
! Run this command from an app folder or specify which app to use with --app
heroku pg:reset DATABASE --confirm my_app_1(in my_app_1 folder):
Resetting SHARED_DATABASE (DATABASE_URL)... failed
! Resource not found
Here is my environment.
Max OS X Lion (10.7.4)
rvm 1.13.8 (stable)
ruby 1.9.3p194
heroku 2.26.5
Adding the heroku's remote configuration to git did the trick for me. Validate if you have it configured with git remote -v on the terminal and you should get something like:
heroku git#heroku.com:your-app.git (fetch)
heroku git#heroku.com:your-app.git (push)
if you don't, add it with
git remote add heroku git#heroku.com:your-app.git
It looks like the latest version fo the Heroku gem (2.26.5) is broken. A workaround is to downgrade to 2.26.3.
gem uninstall heroku -v 2.26.5
gem install heroku -v 2.26.3
It looks like you have a conflict between the Heroku gem, and the Heroku Toolbelt. I'm guessing you have installed the Heroku Toolbelt, but still have the Heroku gem in your gem file.
Remove the Heroku gem from your Gemfile and save.
Run the bundle command to update your Gemfile.lock
In Terminal, run gem uninstall heroku (NOTE: there may be multiple versions of the Heroku gem installed, and you'll need to uninstall all of them.)
In Terminal, run heroku addons
If you get heroku: command not found then you don't have the Heroku Toolbelt installed.
Install the Heroku Toolbelt and run the command again.
NOTE: If you're not in the app's directory, you'll need to add --app myapp1 to the Heroku commands.
Hope this helps.
I have a Node project that is using Bundler and Guard to handle my pre-compilations steps.
This means that I have a Gemfile in the root of my project along with the package.json file.
My problem is that Heroku believes that my project is a Ruby app, just because the Gemfile exists. And complains that I have not committed the Gemfile.lock, which I don't want to commit.
-----> Heroku receiving push
-----> Ruby app detected

Is there a way to tell Heroku that the app is a Node app and not a Ruby app?
The solution to this, with a lot of help from Heroku Support is: use a build pack!
Override the Heroku default buildpacks by specifying a custom buildpack in the BUILDPACK_URL config var
$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs
You can also specify a buildpack during app creation
$ heroku create -s cedar --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs
Simple when you know it. Some more documentation can be found at Heroku Dev Center
It seems there's a new way to do this as BUILDPACK_URL is now deprecated, explained here, but essentially the command is:
$ heroku buildpacks:set heroku/nodejs
You may also specify a buildpack during app creation:
$ heroku create myapp --buildpack heroku/nodejs
