Deploying Laravel to Heroku - problems with Jeffrey Way's Generators - heroku

Question

So, I'm trying do deploy my Laravel project to Heroku.
In my Vendor folder I have Jeffrey Way's Generators installed [/Vendor/Way]. And it seems like Heroku doesn't have it. I get the following whet I run git push heroku master

Why does it happens? How can I solve it?
Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

So here is my guide how to do it in Homestead. 1. Open terminal and do $ vagrant ssh 2. Change directory to your project [ex: $ cd Code/webdev.local]3. Run $ composer require way/generators --dev [you can actually skip this step]4. Update your project's composer.json "way/generators" to "dev-master" or "2.*" or "~3.0" - depending on your larval version [ex:
"require-dev": {
"way/generators": "dev-master"
}
]5.Run $composer update 6. Navigate to your project and to app/config/local/app.php (if you don't have local folder - create it and then create app.php which starts like app.php) and set there 'providers'=>array('Way\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider'), 7. Run php artisan to check the commands
Worked just fine for me!
